Experts have as-yet been unable to determine the cause of death of Christopher Brahney, the Stone Roses fan who was found dead in Manchester Ship Canal on Monday, 9 July, 2012.

Brahney went missing on Friday 29 June at the opening night of The Stone Roses homecoming Heaton Park shows. After a week of police searches and appeals from the band themselves, the 22-year-old's body was found earlier this week.

Officers are continuing to offer support to Christopher's family, and we are trying to give them the answers they so desperately need.

"The post-mortem examination brought an inconclusive result, but, as is routine, samples have been sent for toxicology tests," said police spokesperson Debbie Oakes.

"We do however have a number of lines of inquiry that we are vigorously pursuing including CCTV footage that could help us make more sense of Chris's final movements, information from witnesses following the fantastic public response and other avenues for us to pursue.

"We understand that Chris walked from Shudehill past a number of pubs to Deansgate."

"Anyone who saw Chris in Manchester city centre, carrying a Primark bag, is urged to call the police as soon as possible."

Police are now hoping to piece together Brahney's final movements. Investigating officers believe he travelled into Manchester city centre in the early hours of Saturday morning (30 July, 2012) to collect shoes his had hidden in Rosenfields car park close to Shudehill Metro link station.

Police have asked anyone with information on Christopher Brahney's movements following The Stone Roses gig to contact them on 0161 856 7652.
