Man falls from car park

A MAN from Castleford died after falling from Woodfield Lane car park in Leeds city centre, police confirmed last Friday (17).

Amandeep Singh, 22, was described as having a “pure soul” and who had a passion for cars, LeedsLive reported. When Singh was reported missing last Thursday (16), friends, family and strangers united in their efforts to try and trace him.

According to the report, hundreds of people attempted to reach out to him on Instagram, among them strangers, after Singh posted about his battle with depression.

An appeal by a friend on Twitter was retweeted over 3,000 times. Tragically, their efforts were ultimately in vain, the report added.

Thousands of posts were shared on social media to try and find him with photographs shared of his distinctive grey Audi RS3 car.

Several people revealed that they were out searching, with the focus believed to be on Leeds and Bradford as well as Castleford.

Many well-wishers sent him direct messages through social media, and some offered a place for him to stay over, the LeedsLive report added.

Following his death, tributes were paid to the much-loved young man.

One friend, Saffron Kemp, set up a Go Fund Me page to raise money for the Minds Matter charity.

“On the 17th December 2021, we lost a beautiful friend to his battle with mental health. Deep was a loving caring friend with nothing but time for everyone. He had a passion for his cars and loved to give everyone smoke,” a post on the page reads.

The fundraising page raised over £1,200 so far.
