A man's body has been found 'wrapped in a blanket' on the roof of a three-storey home in Leeds sparking an emergency response.
The discovery was made shortly after 2.30pm on Sunday, October 9 when West Yorkshire Police were alerted to reports of a body having been spotted on a rooftop on Harehills Avenue in Chapeltown on the outskirts of the city. The force believe the body is that of 32-year-old missing man Gerard Colgan, who disappeared from the same area on Friday, October 7. Mr Colgan's family have been informed, reports LeedsLive.
Emergency services rushed to the scene and the street was locked while a probe was launched. A photo taken at the scene shows police tape erected around the front of the terraced house, which sits on a quiet residential street just a few metres away from a local park.
Tributes have already began flooding in for the victim, with residents sending their condolences to all involved. One woman said: "It was yesterday, lives near me", while another commented: "Deepest sympathies to his family and friends."
A spokesperson for the force said: "The body of a man found on the roof of a house in Leeds yesterday is believed to a man reported missing from the address.
"Gerard Colgan, aged 32, was reported missing from the address in Harehills Avenue, Chapeltown, on Friday. At 2.40pm on Sunday, the body was located on the roof.
"While formal identification is yet to be completed, it is believed to be Mr Colgan and his family has been informed. There were no suspicious circumstances and the Coroner’s Office has been notified."
