Body of missing stag party reveller found in river

THE body of a missing Scottish man who vanished during his brother’s stag weekend in Hamburg two months ago was pulled from a river yesterday.

Liam Colgan, 29, disappeared on Feb 10, triggering a series of searches in the German city and appeals on social media. His body was found in the Elbe. His brother Eamonn, a Dundee police officer, and Susan Dolan, his fiancée, postponed their wedding. CCTV images showed Liam had been in the port’s Baumwall area, near the Reeperbahn where the 18-strong stag group had been celebrating.

The Lucie Blackman Trust, a charity supporting Mr Colgan’s family during the search, stated: “Formal identification is yet to be carried out, but Mr Colgan’s driving licence was in the pocket of the jacket and the clothes were those he was wearing when he disappeared. We ask that the family be given privacy to grieve at this difficult time.”
