Guardians of the Galaxy star Alexis Rodney tweets support for Noah Donohoe's family ahead of pre-inquest hearing

Guardians of the Galaxy star Alexis Rodney has joined calls for the family of Belfast teenager Noah Donohoe to get “answers”.

In a tweet marking the second anniversary of the teenager being found dead in a North Belfast storm drain, the actor said: “Two years ago this little angel was found lifeless and naked in a storm drain in Belfast, Northern Ireland. Police said there was no foul play involved. I don’t quite believe that. Help find answers for his family. Rest him well. #NoahDonohoe #JusticeForNoah.”

In a follow-up tweet, Rodney added: “I apologise for the graphic description. It hurts to type, but it’s what happened. People need to know. We only have to read this. The family have to live it every day. Prayers go out to them.”
