A local community have been left horrified after the body of a man was discovered on the roof of a house in Leeds.
Gerard Colgan, 32, was reported missing by friends on Friday after they grew concerned that they had not seen him since October 2.
His brother Rory had issued an appeal on Facebook saying: "My brothers (sic) not been seen for a few days and were all a little concerned about his wellbeing."
West Yorkshire Police said they found the body on the roof of a property in Chapeltown and believe it belongs to the man missing from the address.
While formal identification has not taken place, police say they believe the remains to be Gerard.
They also confirmed there to be no suspicious circumstances surrounding his death.
Emergency services closed roads in the area on Sunday afternoon to recover the body from a three-storey terraced house.
Videos and images shared via the community reporting platform YappApp appear to show a worker opening a skylight and looking at the body underneath a yellow blanket.
A post on Facebook reads: "Emergency services were at the scene, closing numerous roads in the #Chapeltown area of the city after a body was discovered on the roof of a three-story residential property.
