Didn't even know there was a river there.

Sad news

skybluekelly98 · Jan 7, 2016

2 minutes from my house.
Outside the old peoples flats aswell.
Shocking.

Nick · Jan 7, 2016

Where is the river?

It's not those flats where the bridge thing goes up on a plat form is it?

Nick · Jan 7, 2016

Ah no, it's on the other side of the road behind where the bus stop is.

wingy · Jan 7, 2016

Wonder if it's the guy who went missing from the pub, from Tile Hill.

First thought that came into my head but didn't want to assume / say something

I think it's very close to the Unicorn Pub where he was last seen.

If it's him how come nothing was seen in all this time? It's been 5 or 6 weeks since he went missing.

Nick · Jan 7, 2016

It looks like the tent is up on the grass but tucked away in the trees. I doubt many people have the need to go in / over there

wingy · Jan 7, 2016

Extremely sad for whoever it is and tragic for their family.

And the poor sod who found the body

Hold on a minute, the Met couldn't find 3 bodies in the garden of a house they visited in response to a missing person report.

Some coppers couldn't find their own dicks in the dark!

I would have thought this area would have been searched, when there was an organised search a few weeks back of which I took part in?

Nick · Jan 7, 2016

Looks like his family has been informed about it.

Even so, it is a very weird place to end up isn't it? Seems suspicious

Was thinking the same Nick, if it is Luke I'm sure this area would have been checked during the search, I know his family have pretty much searched the whole area of Eastern Green and Tile Hill

oakey · Jan 7, 2016

It's Mount Nod, not Eastern Green and it's a brook not a river.

duffer · Jan 7, 2016

It's a few minutes walk from The Unicorn at most, but there's quite a lot of undergrowth around some bits of the area there. I wouldn't want to speculate beyond that, whether it's the man in question or not, the family must be going through hell at the moment.

A friend speculated that the body could have been trapped in a culvert for some time and dislodged by the recent heavy rain.

PS Telegraph now reporting it is a chap called Adrian Turner from Bedworth who went missing on boxing day.

SuperElite · Jan 8, 2016

Adrian Turner was apparently found in Bedworth after vanishing on Boxing Day.

The identity of the man found near the Unicorn Pub is yet to be confirmed.

very strange, can't help wondering if there is any connection, but police not disclosing much info

It's a different man

Captain Dart · Jan 8, 2016

Ye gads the CT reporting left me confused, I thought it was Turner they'd found in the stream, but his body was in a field in Exhall.

So 2 bodies have been found, FFS is there a Serial Killer on the loose!

LastGarrison · Jan 8, 2016

Been confirmed that the body found was of Luke Whelan.

Where was that?

Telegraph says:

Good evening and thank you for joining us today.West Midlands Police have now confirmed it is likely to be tomorrow before the results of the post mortem results are revealed and further information is provided about the identity of the man who was found dead in a Coventry river yesterday.

Please check the Coventry Telegraph website tomorrow and we will update you as soon as we have more information.

Nick · Jan 8, 2016

Ah, the family have confirmed it?

chiefdave · Jan 8, 2016

Think his family have confirmed its him.

LastGarrison · Jan 8, 2016

Yeah his sister has posted it on Facebook I believe.

Nick · Jan 9, 2016

Cleaned up the speculation

mechaishida · Jan 10, 2016

So who was it that bought the stuff from the petrol station with his card? Very odd, 'cos the police thought it was Luke. Obviously not...

Anyone else thinking it was a robbery that went bad? I.E. someone mugging him for his cash, but it went bad and Luke ended up in the river.

Very sad and tragic times for his family. Sympathies to them.

Kingokings204 · Jan 10, 2016

I don't see how they say it wasn't suspicious cicumstances? A man was found in a river.
