A British man has tragically been found dead after disappearing following a TwitchCon event in the Netherlands.
Bradley Passey, 21, had not been seen since May 30, when friends said they spotted him outside nightclub Munch on Maasboulevard at around 2am.
He had attended the gaming convention and was reported to have been staying at a hostel in the Overblaak Cube Houses area but never returned after the night out.
Bradley’s family became worried when he didn’t board his flight to come home last Monday and there was no contact with him. They travelled to Rotterdam as a major search was launched by local authorities.
But now his sister Amy has said on social media that the family have been told he had drowned in a river.
Amy wrote on Facebook: “This isn’t a post we ever thought we would be sharing, but we have sadly had confirmation this morning that Bradley Passey unfortunately drown in River Maas.
“We hoped that we would have time as a family to process this, but unfortunately news has already spread in the media in Netherlands.
“We appreciate all the love sent over the last few days, the shares & any donations made so far on the go fund me. Please continue to do so because we don’t know how long my family will remain in Rotterdam. Thank you x x x.”
