Heard that the spot was like between two fences that he may have fallen whilst climbing. You would still think that a good search with a trained dog would uncover it quick.
The search team will be key if they coordinated correctly they should have someone to say that spot was checked and he wasn’t there or I didn’t think to look in that spot.
I don’t see how someone would have done something from the state he was in looked like he was in an episode and a danger to himself unfortunately.
On cctv it shows him go up an alleyway near that spot and never appears on cctv again. It also shows him talking to 2 females and the running off I wonder have the police appealed to those people showed a male with them too after he left.
The police searched that area without dogs and did not direct the search team or dogs to search the area again. The team and dogs can only go where directed by PolSAR (Police Search And Rescue liaison)
I said the same thing. How was his body laying in an alleyway for 7 days and not a single person saw him?! That makes no sense at all. Something doesn't add up.
I’d say he was put there today. There will probably be investigations launched in a few days after post mortem. Theres no way he laid there for 6 days and no one knew, search dogs would have found him

Saw cctv of him he was literally running to the place where he was found. Crazy.
Also saw a video of him taken by someone in house before he left the house he was in - was in bad shape. Poor lad RIP!
It was shared on WhatsApp and made its way to my phone. Taken by a girl in the house looks like it’s been sent from her phone and then obviously shared around. Not good for the family to see. Awful stuff.
I didn’t know the young lad but I’m gutted this is the outcome. It sounds like he’s had a bit of a breakdown or an episode that night and he’s maybe fallen asleep in there and died of hypothermia. God love him and anyone close to him
I see some appeals from the family - they are asking someone with a conscience to let them Know where he is. Maybe it’s sinister now hope not. Also saw some comment on Facebook saying there was a row at the party. Could be BS. Not much info from police to say if they are interviewing anyone!
He's been all over my socials, Lough Neagh S&R have been out checking rivers and inlets, etc. wasn't holding out much hope for him, but this maybe suggests he's alive somewhere? Hope so, fingers crossed.
It was a fairly central area of town you would have thought if he walked somewhere he would have showed up on CCTV. And with the extent of the search of that area surely he would have been found if he was close to where last seen. That’s why I’m thinking he may have gotten a lift. Just a thought.
Sad
Dear God, every parent’s worst nightmare. My heart goes out to his family and friends. Such a tragedy. RIP.
I met him right before this on new years night, it's incredibly sad
Did he seem okay? of sound mind?
I couldn't say, I didn't know him well and don't know how he acts but he seemed fine.
Someone probably knows something, things doesnt add up that he was found in area where he was last seen. Was he involved into something?

He can't have been lying there all this time without being found - something isn't adding up...

How was he not found sooner? Poor lad was meters away from the searchers all week

where did you see this?
The cctv was taken from a business looking into the street. Again the owner must have shared with police and others and it’s made its way around.
It was shared on WhatsApp and made its way to my phone. Taken by a girl in the house looks like it’s been sent from her phone and then obviously shared around. Not good for the family to see. Awful stuff.
I’ve heard of this picture but not seen it. He most likely fell and succumbed to the elements

We will probably have a better idea in a few days after formal identification and post mortem take place
Hearing there will be news shortly on this and unfortunately it isn’t good. 😟
They've found a body - https://www.belfastlive.co.uk/news/northern-ireland/taylor-stewart-body-cookstown-breaking-33184210
He was found 200m away from where he was last seen 6 days ago. So strange!
I saw there was police tape up near Dunleath
Horrendous. Heard the same. Circumstances are tragic.
How has the search went on so long

Aw that's terrible to read. It's pure freezing. God help him and his family.
His Grandas plea for him to come home to help him with his car would break your heart God love him. I really hope he is found safe and well 🙏
Can’t stop thinking about this. I can’t think of anywhere safe to hide warm enough in these weather conditions
Hope he's found safe. My thoughts are with his family, can't even imagine the worry they are going through.

I think he did show up on CCTV around 5am? But it is very strange that there no other sight of him after that. 🙁 I really really hope he's okay.
Yeah they have the lifeboats out looking on rivers and things now, and asked people to check sheds and out houses.
