A post-mortem examination into the death of Stone Roses fan Chris Brahney, whose dead body was found in a canal on Monday (July 09) has proved inconclusive.
Officers were called to the canal near Media City, Salford Quays, shortly before 9:35am BST on Monday morning (July 9).
The 22-year-old, who is from Timperley, Manchester, was last seen at 11.30pm BST after the Roses' first show at Heaton Park on Friday night (June 29).
Police have been scanning through hours of footage from around the city on that Friday night to try and solve what happened to Brahney.
The paper reports that detectives have now requested hours of CCTV footage from a number of Metrolink tram stations in a bid to piece together his final movements.
From previous inquiries, officers believe that after the Stone Roses gig Mr Brahney used the park and ride facility at Bowlee Park, Heywood Old Road, towards Middleton.
Detective Inspector Debbie Oakes said: "Officers are continuing to offer support to Christopher's family, and we are trying to give them the answers they so desperately need. "The post-mortem examination brought an inconclusive result, but, as is routine, samples have been sent for toxicology tests.
"We do however have a number of lines of inquiry that we are vigorously pursuing including CCTV footage that could help us make more sense of Chris's final movements, information from witnesses following the fantastic public response and other avenues for us to pursue.''
"We understand that Chris walked from Shudehill past a number of pubs to Deansgate.''
"Anyone who saw Chris in Manchester city centre, carrying a Primark bag, is urged to call the police as soon as possible.''
