Mystery surrounds the death of man whose body was found three months after he went missing on the day of his mum's funeral. Paul Ryan was last seen in Manchester Road, Denton, on December 1 last year.
That was the day of his mother’s funeral — which he never attended. That evening, CCTV footage showed the 50-year-old walking towards the Audenshaw Reservoirs, where police found his rucksack several weeks later.
Despite extensive searches around the reservoirs, it was not until March 3 that Paul's decomposed body was found in a patch of dense undergrowth nearby. At an inquest at Manchester South Coroner's Court today (Wednesday), a coroner said they were unable to determine the cause of Paul's death.
