Neighbours were left horrified after the body of a 32-year-old man was found on the roof of a house in Leeds.
Gerard Colgan had been reported missing on Friday after friends had not seen him since October 2.
His brother Rory had issued an appeal on Facebook and wrote: "My brothers (sic) not been seen for a few days and were all a little concerned about his wellbeing."
West Yorkshire Police said they found the body on the roof of a property in Chapeltown and believe it belongs to the man missing from the address.
