A man has died after he fell from a rooftop in Soho, central London, during the bank holiday weekend.

Ryley Harbord, 22, fell from a residential property, in Brewer Street, at around 2am on Saturday, May 3.

Pictures show him at a bar in Soho earlier in the evening.

His death is being treated as unexpected and an investigation has been launched.

Police are appealing for people who saw Ryley or spoke to him on Friday evening to come forward or anyone who contacted him between 7pm on Friday and 2am on Saturday. 

Detective Chief Inspector Anne Linton, who is leading the investigation, said: ‘First and foremost, our thoughts are with Ryley’s family as they come to terms with this tragic loss. This is an unimaginably difficult time for them.

‘Soho was bustling at the start of a Bank Holiday, which means there is a likelihood someone saw or spoke to Ryley. 

‘If this is you, you may hold really important information that helps us piece together the circumstances surrounding Ryley’s death and we would ask you to please get in touch with us as soon as possible.’
