53-year-old Mark Davies was last seen in the city centre on October 15, and was reported missing on October 17. West Yorkshire Police (WYP) launched a missing person appeal and conducted extensive searches to find him.

At the time of his disappearance, Zoe Bannister, who is married to Mark's cousin, said: "We’re very worried as his mental health is quite low at the minute. As the days go by, it’s getting more worrying and we’re all starting to think the worst.
"The days are getting on, he’s got no money on him and no bank card. We’re all devastated because it’s just out of character for him to go missing."
He was found on Friday, October 28, and was taken to hospital for treatment. Now, WYP have confirmed that he died yesterday (October, 31).
A spokesperson for West Yorkshire Police said: "Mark Davies who’d been the subject of a missing person appeal was found in Leeds on Friday, October 28. He was taken to hospital for treatment. Sadly he passed away in hospital on Monday, October 31.
"There are no suspicious circumstances surrounding his death and a file is being prepared for the coroner."
