Glad they found him, but talk about horrible police work! He was found in an abandon building next door to where he lived. That would have been the first place they should have looked!

Gotta ask what cause you think they had to search a neighboring building, not owned by the owner of his current residence. He was last seen walking the streets, which is where they focus their search.

Very sad to hear he was found dead but I'm relieved for the family that they can now get some closure. Lots of prayers for them.

On the weekends I work just two blocks away from where he lived and where they found the body. If Brogan was said to have been retracing his steps to find his phone, the PD should have dome that as well. His building first, then the abandon building next to his apartment. Abandoned building and a missing person next door, I'm not sure if they need a search warrant or permission.

 

I am not too sure on the self inflicted part, it doesn't add up. This afternoon I was told by someone in the know that the kid did lead a double life, and I heard that the family called off their search.

The self-infliction thing doesn't make much sense yet. Sad situation all around.

They often never make sense. Sorry to hear of his death.

It wasn't abandoned, it was vacant. Big difference. That being said, call the freaking owner and make them come help you. Certainly before a week later.

Are you guys saying it's being reported his death was self-inflicted?

 

Also, how do you not check the surrounding buildings? Wouldn't that be one of the first areas to look?

Abandoned or vacant, it needed to be searched. A neighbor said they told the police who were around last Wednesday that they should search it.

 

And people who were there last night about 9pm to work on the building were the ones who found him, and they said that the workers were there a few days ago too for a bit and of course didn't see anything then.

First thing I asked my girlfriend this morning. How did it take a week to find him if he was there the whole time.

Sad ending but amazing community effort by Cincy. Thanks to the select NKY brothers/sisters who cared and helped. At least he was found some parents never get an answer.

I read an article this morning that stated he was found hanging. Something is very fishy about this situation. I find it hard to believe that he went out partying, lost his cell phone, went searching for it, and sometime during the search he decided to kill himself.

I read an article this morning that stated he was found hanging. Something is very fishy about this situation.

 

Based on what I have read, the young man had some issues so the self inflicted death does not arouse suspicion of foul play.

Police stated that they did case the outside of the building, but the building was locked. The police would've needed a search warrant (or the owner's consent) to search the premises.

 

It's an awful story, but like others have said, at least there is some closure for the family. I'm sure they still have thousands of questions.

Sending prayers of comfort to the family and friends of this young man. Whatever his issues were, I hope he has found the peace he was seeking.
