Police: Body in Bangsar lift shaft confirmed as missing British man [WATCH]
KUALA LUMPUR: Police have confirmed that the body found in the elevator shaft of a partially under-construction condominium in Bangsar is that of missing British backpacker Jordan Johnson-Doyle. City police chief Datuk Rusdi Mohd Isa said a post-mortem examination showed that the cause of death was a chest injury due to a fall from height. "I can confirm that the body is that of the person who was reported missing on June 2," he said in a statement today. He said there was no evidence of foul play. The case has been classified as sudden death. "The victim's uncle positively identified the body as that of Jordan Johnson-Doyle, based on a tattoo on his body," he said. Earlier today, it was reported that police were searching for clues in the vicinity of the Lorong Maarof condo where the body was found. Policemen were also analysing closed-circuit television footage from the area. They were also looking for the deceased's personal documents. Police on Wednesday had traced Johnson-Doyle's movements to the condominium at 4pm. A 30-strong team of police personnel conducted a search of the entire building. Around 5pm, a body was discovered in a partially submerged elevator shaft in a building section that was still under construction. The body was found in an isolated area. Johnson-Doyle, a software engineer, had been backpacking across the Mediterranean and Southeast Asia for over a year, working remotely for an American tech company. He arrived in Malaysia on May 17 after visiting Vietnam and is believed to have been staying at the Robertson Residences in Bukit Bintang. His last communication was with his mother on May 26.

'All I know is something is really wrong for him not to contact anybody. I know what he's like and he knows how worried everyone gets at home. That's why he checks in all the time,' Burnett said. She continued explaining that her son knows her number by heart and would contact her if his phone or laptop was stolen.

She noted that the location of his phone, through the Find My iPhone service, had not updated from the night before and was 'last seen 11 hours ago'. 'It means it's either out of signal or out of range, and this was the last place it had a signal. It was a block of flats in that same area, literally down the road from the bar,' she said, adding that she continued tracking him throughout the day but to no avail. His phone was reported to have stopped working on 30 May, three days after he went missing.
