    The last time he was spotted is now considered to be 1:40am Outside McDonalds on Daunt Square. Just to update the OP a little.

    Just a bump to refresh everyones minds.

    Brian's sister was in my class in secondary school and I know that the family are terribly upset.

    If you were out on the lash Wednesday night, please cast your minds back and see if you recall seeing Brian.

    Good idea to keep awareness up dudara.
    They're still searching but no result today either as of 5 pm anyway.
    I can't even imagine what they're going through... my brain won't even go there

    His body was found today.

    Not being insensitive or anything but was it confirmed it was him, because there was a second man went missing on Thursday as well.

    If it is him, I'm glad for the family, that they can get some closure. I know it is a devestating loss for them and his friends, but the pain of not knowing can be much much harder to deal with. RIP

    Brain was found today. At least the family have the consolation of giving him a decent burial and get some kind of closure, unwelcome as it may be. I know I said I'd not be posting here again and I can promise that this'll be my last post. I generally stay away from most message boards on the web for the simple fact that there's no controlling what some half-wit may type if she / he is lucky enough to have figured out a keyboard. Despite this I'm still shocked at the cruelty, stupidity and thoughtlessness I've seen on this thread.

    Least his family have a body to bury, some closure at least. Whatever little comfort that may bring at this stage!

    Desperately sad news. Seemed to be a really nice guy. Seeing the poster of him on the bus earlier, and knowing his body had been found hit it home..

    My sincerest condolences to the family.

    Thanks, just waiting on that.. There must be a delay on PM's on boards; this is a first. Hardly surprisingly considering the size of the forums. Either way, double check that you got the user-name right; Portuguese isn't always the best language to meddle in at 3am! ;)

    EDIT: Message received.
