A missing Brit in the Netherland for a TwitchCon event has been found dead. Bradley Passey, 21, had not been seen since May 30. Pals said they spotted him outside nightclub Munch on Maasboulevard at around 2am. He had attended the gaming convention and was reported to have been staying at a hostel in the Overblaak Cube Houses area but never returned after the night out. Bradley’s family became worried when he didn’t board his flight home last Monday and there was no contact with
him. His family travelled to Rotterdam as a major search was launched by local authorities. They are understood to have helped put up posters of him and made enquiries if anyone had footage, The Mirror reports. His sister Amy has now said on social media that the family were told he had drowned in a river. Amy wrote on Facebook : “This isn’t a post we ever thought we would be sharing, but we have sadly had confirmation this morning that Bradley Passey unfortunately drown
in River Maas. “We hoped that we would have time as a family to process this, but unfortunately news has already spread in the media in Netherlands. “We appreciate all the love sent over the last few days, the shares & any donations made so far on the go fund me. Please continue to do so because we don’t know how long my family will remain in Rotterdam. Thank you x x x.” Many people have sent their condolences on social media, with one person
writing: “Oh Amy I’m so sorry to read this. Sending condolences to you and your family. Xx.” Another said: “I am absolutely heartbroken for you all, I’m so so sorry sending you all so much love and strength.” A further comment read: “Can’t believe this! i went to school with brad. so sorry for you and your family.” During the search, a Rotterdam Police spokesperson, reported AD , said: “We are working hard to gather all the information. Unfortunately, no leads have been found at
this moment.” A UK Foreign Office spokesperson said: “We are supporting the family of a British man who died in the Netherlands, and we are liaising with local authorities.”

Damn, so sad. I heard about this on TikTok and thought it was just missing, not drowned.
Why would the family be told “drowned in River Maas” if police said no leads? Like did they just guess? I’m not trying to be mean, it’s just confusing. Condolences though.
Wait so he went to TwitchCon and then ended up at that nightclub Munch at 2am and then somehow fell in? People really don’t watch where they’re going around rivers. I’m glad they found him but this is terrifying.
I’m sorry but I don’t get the whole hostel thing, like Overblaak Cube Houses sounds like it’s basically in the city center, so how does someone just not come back? Also the media already spread over Netherlands, that’s insane. Hope his family can get some closure.
