His family have also paid tribute
Last updated 7th Mar 2024
The family of Towcester man Jayran, who was found in the River Tove in Towcester last April, have paid tribute to him following the inquest into his death.
Jayran, aged 20, was reported missing to Northamptonshire Police in March 2023 and concern grew further after his jacket was found hanging on a gate on Northampton Road.
A three-day underwater search of a section of the River Tove in the area of the Watermeadows took place over the Easter weekend. Sadly, Jayran's body was later discovered in a different stretch of water.
Via the Force, Jayran’s mother Tracey has given a moving tribute to her much-loved son, praising him as a “really caring” young man who is missed by so many.
She said: “I miss you Jayran. Life is never going to be the same without you and my heart is broken.
“It makes me so sad thinking of all the things you’ll never see or experience. You’ll never enjoy holidays again, or have a family – I will never see you have children of your own, my grandchildren.
“You were just 20 years old, and a really caring and trustworthy person. It’s such a waste of a life.
“Your funeral was attended by so many people who loved you. We are remembering you and we are all missing you.”
Detective Chief Inspector Johnny Campbell, who led the missing person investigation, added:
“We note the findings of the coroner following Jayran’s tragic death last April, which devastated his family and deeply shocked the local community.
“Our thoughts remain with Jayran’s family and friends who have had to re-live the distressing events through the recent inquest proceedings, and we extend our deepest condolences as they continue to come to terms with their loss.”
