The investigation into the death of a young Liverpool fan who died after entering a river is still ongoing.
Steven O'Neill died in the King Staith area of York during a night out in the city in the early hours of Saturday, April 20.
The 29-year-old from Wirral is believed to have been visiting his brother before the incident occurred in the River Ouse.
Two months on, mystery still surrounds what happened to Mr O'Neill as the Independent Office for Police Conduct announced, shortly after the incident, that they would also be probing the death.
Now, officers investigating the death of Mr O'Neill have released CCTV images of three men who may be able to help with their inquiries.
A spokesperson for North Yorkshire Police said: "Police in York are appealing to the men shown in these CCTV images to come forward.
"Officers believe they were in the King’s Staith area of the city centre in the minutes leading up to an incident during the early hours of Saturday 20 April, when 29-year-old Steven O’Neill sadly died after he entered the River Ouse.
"The men are believed to have been on a night out in the city on Friday, 19 April 2019 and the early hours of the next day.
"Officers believe they could have important information that could assist their investigation into the events that led up to Steven’s death."
In addition to the local investigation, an investigation by the Independent Office for Police conduct remains ongoing after the case was referred to them by North Yorkshire Police due to police contact with Steven prior to his death.
North Yorkshire Police is urging any of the men who recognise themselves from the images, or anyone who thinks they may know the men, to call 101, select option 2 and ask for York CID. You can also contact Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
