Body of Scottish man Liam Colgan who disappeared on brother's stag do found in Hamburg river

The body of a missing Scottish man who vanished during his brother’s stag weekend in Hamburg has been found in a river.

Liam Colgan, 29, from Inverness, was last seen on a night out in the German city on February 10. His body was recovered from the River Elbe at 6.30am on Monday morning.

The Lucie Blackman Trust, a charity which has supported Mr Colgan's family during his disappearance, confirmed the discovery.

In a statement issued on behalf of his family, it said: "Whilst formal identification is yet to be carried out, Mr Colgan's driving licence was in the pocket of the jacket and the clothes were those he was wearing the night he disappeared," it said in a statement.

"The Trust asks that Mr Colgan's family be given space and privacy to grieve at this difficult time."

Chief executive Matthew Searle added: "An astonishing amount of support has been apparent in this case.

"The search for Liam has been joined by thousands of people – both German and British – and we would like to thank all of them for their support. Our thoughts are of course with Liam's family and friends today."
