Body found in Malaysia confirmed to be missing UK backpacker Jordan Johnson-Doyle
The body of Johnson-Doyle, who went missing last week in Kuala Lumpur, was identified by his tattoo
The decomposing body of Jordan Johnson-Doyle was found by a search team on Wednesday afternoon at the bottom of a flooded lift shaft at the site, lying face down with most of its clothes off.
Kuala Lumpur police said the cause of death was a chest injury due to a fall.
“There were no criminal elements found at the incident site,” city police chief Rusdi Mohd Isa said in a statement on Thursday, adding that the case had been classified as sudden death.
Johnson-Doyle was positively identified by his uncle based on a tattoo on his body, Rusdi said.
Local police launched a search operation in the affluent neighbourhood of Bangsar in a bid to find Johnson-Doyle after his father filed a missing persons report on Monday.
