Body of Stone Roses fan found following Facebook appeal Christopher Brahney, 22, from Timperley, Altrincham, had not been seen since attending the band's show at Heaton Park, Manchester, on June 29. He told friends he had lost his mobile phone following the concert and was trying to find it. Mr Brahney's parents Stuart Brahney, 56, a quantity surveyor and mother Jane, 48, a headmistress said they were "going through every parents' worst nightmare." Today, police confirmed that a body found in the Manchester Ship Canal this morning, near Salford's Media City, was that of Mr Brahney. A post mortem examination is due to take place tomorrow. A Facebook site appealing for information about the barman attracted 110,000 members after he went missing following the Stone Roses concert, one of a series of long-awaited comeback gigs by the influential band after they reunited. In a statement, Greater Manchester Police said: "Police can confirm that the body found in a canal in Salford this morning is that of missing 22-year-old Christopher Brahney." Last week, the Stone Roses issued a personal appeal for help finding him. In a statement released through police, the band said: "If you saw Christopher at the end of the evening please get in touch with Greater Manchester Police and spread the word to everyone who came to the show. Our thoughts are with Christopher's family and we all want to see him back at home safe and sound.
