Brit backpacker Jordan Johnson-Doyle, 25, disappeared on May 27 in the Malaysian capital of Kuala Lumpur. He was last seen at a bar in a suburb.
The body of a missing tourist who vanished in Malaysia has been found in a lift shaft a week after he vanished.
Brit backpacker Jordan Johnson-Doyle, 25, disappeared on May 27 in the Malaysian capital of Kuala Lumpur after he was last seen at a bar in a suburb.
As the Mirror reports, a major search was launched by police after he was reported missing. Tragically the search has ended after he was found dead in a lift shaft at the ground floor of a construction site.
A post-mortem found the cause of death was a horror "chest injury sustained from fall from height", according to police chief Rusdi Mohd.
Police have ruled out any foul play. The police chief added: "No criminal elements were found at the scene and the case has been classified as a sudden death report."
Jordan was last seen at Healey Mac's Irish Bar in the Bangsar area of the city. He had sent his friend a photo of the pub's quiz poster before he is believed to have gone to a nearby bar called The Social.
His devastated mum Leanna Burnett previously told how she felt"sick" and "numb" over his shock disappearance.
Leanna used a tracking device 'find my iPhone' to trace her son's phone in a desperate search for him. The tracker showed the mobile was at a residential block close to the bar in the Kuala Lumpur suburb where Jordan had been.
Leanna said she last spoke to her son on May 26 just a day before he disappeared.
She previously said: "He seemed absolutely fine and normal. Nothing stood out whatsoever.

"We always end the phone call with 'love long time' and that was the very last thing we said to each other."
Jordan had been backpacking around South East Asia at the time and had recently visited nearby country Vietnam on his travels.
It is understood he arrived in Malaysia on May 17 and was staying at the Robertson Residences at Bukit, in Kuala Lumpur.
Tributes have poured in for the software engineer.
One social media user wrote to the family, they said: "So sorry for your his soul rest in peace, may God comfort n give strength to you n family in this difficult times. Sending love & hugs from Ipoh, Malaysia."
Another added: "Deepest condolences and heartfelt sympathy to the family."
Jordan Johnson-Doyle's death shares some similarities to that of Brit tourist Tyler Kerry, 20, who was found dead in a lift shaft in Turkey.
Tyler was found unresponsive inside a lift shaft at the Trendy Lara Hotel in Antalya last year.
It was believed Tyler opened the door believing the lift had arrived and walked through and into the empty shaft.
