Police launch investigation after bar worker, 19, found dead in Manchester flat
A 19-year-old bar worker died in a Manchester flat as police said three men arrested in connection with drug supply were released on bail.
The woman, who worked at the Gorilla bar, was found after police officers attended a call for help at a flat in Grosvenor Street.
Gorilla bar posted a statement on social media saying one of its team members had tragically passed away at the flat in the early hours of Thursday morning.
Manchester Police said three men were arrested in connection with the supply of drugs but those arrested were later released on bail.
In a statement on Facebook, the Gorilla bar said: “We do not currently have detailed information about what happened and it would be inappropriate for us to comment further, particularly while there is an ongoing police investigation.
“Naturally, we reached out to Greater Manchester Police and said we would do whatever help we could to establish what happened.
“Our thoughts and prayers are with the family and friends of our deceased colleague at this sad time.”
A spokesman for Greater Manchester Police said: “Officers responded to the incident on Grosvenor Street, Manchester, following reports of welfare concerns.
“Unfortunately, the police found the body of a 19-year-old woman. Three people were arrested for drug supply. They were later released on bail. Investigations continue.”
