Martyn Hett who was reported missing after Monday night’s terrorist attack at Manchester Arena is the latest confirmed victim.
The 29-year-old PR manager from Stockport was at the Ariana Grande show with friend, Stuart Aspinall – but the two became separated at the end.
Martyn’s death was confirmed by his boyfriend Russell Hayward.
He tweeted:
We got the news last night that our wonderful, iconic and beautiful Martyn didn’t survive. He left the world exactly how he lived, centre of attention. I’m in a really bad way so please forgive if I don’t reply.
Thankfully I have his wonderful and amazing friends to keep each other strong. I love you Martyn. I always will.
A social media campaign had been started to find Martyn, with comedian Jason Manford also appealing for help, tweeting: ‘Friend of my family is still missing. He’s called Martyn Hett, he was wearing a retro shirt and has a Deidrie Barlow tattoo on his ankle/calf.’
