Police issue appeal after death of 22-year-old in Soho following mystery fall
Detectives are seeking witnesses after a man fell from a height in Brewer Street, Soho during the early hours on Saturday.
Officers were called to a residential property in Brewer Street shortly after 2am that morning. Despite the best efforts of first responders, 22-year-old Ryley Harbord sadly died at the scene.
His death is being treated as unexpected and is under investigation at this stage.
Officers are appealing for anyone who saw or spoke to Ryley on the evening of Friday, May 2, to come forward. They are particularly interested in hearing from those who had contact with him between 7pm on Friday and 2am on Saturday.
Detective Chief Inspector Anne Linton, who is leading the investigation, said: “First and foremost, our thoughts are with Ryley’s family as they come to terms with this tragic loss. This is an unimaginably difficult time for them.
“Soho was bustling at the start of a Bank Holiday, which means there is a likelihood someone saw or spoke to Ryley. If this is you, you may hold really important information that helps us piece together the circumstances surrounding Ryley’s death and we would ask you to please get in touch with us as soon as possible.”
Anyone who can help is asked to contact police via 101, quoting 217/3May, or if you wish to remain anonymous go through CrimeStoppers on 0800 555 111.
