His disappearance prompted appeals from his father and Coronation Street actor Tony Maudsley, a friend of the family; police say they do not believe the death involved suspicious circumstances.

Mandaracas, aged 26, was last seen on CCTV near the Fox Stonehouse Pub in Sutton Coldfield, wearing a checked shirt and black trousers.
