A post-mortem has found schoolboy Noah Donohoe died from drowning.

It's now known the 14 year old had been due to meet friends at Cave Hill country park on the day he went missing.

His body was found in a storm drain in North Belfast almost a week later.

Relatives for Justice is working with the Donohoe family, and Andree Murphy from the organisation told Downtown/Cool FM News, “We are far away from knowing the full circumstances of how Noah ended up in the situation that he was in”.

“So, any information that any member of the public can offer, particularly CCTV or dash-cam footage, would be so valuable”.

“At this stage there are as many questions as there are answers and information from the public could really help with all of that”.

It had been believed the teenager may have suffered concussion after falling off his bike, but according to the Irish News the family of the St Malachy's pupil “have not been told if the teenager suffered any head injury prior to his death”.

Anyone with information surrounding Noah’s disappearance or death is being asked to contact Relatives for Justice, KRW Law, or the PSNI.
