A university student who was found dead after a month-long search by police had run away from his parents in a prank that turned tragic, an inquest heard.
Film student Charley Gadd was found in the River Irwell by Media City on January 10 this year. He had been on a night out with parents Jolyon and Kimberley Gadd at The Warehouse Project in Manchester city centre on December 11 last year but later 'ran off' from them while just messing around
His dad, Jolyon, said that 20-year-old Charley had already run away from them once that night as a joke.
