He was on his black Apollo mountain bike, fully dressed, wearing a helmet and carrying a backpack containing his laptop and a book. He also had his mobile phone with him.

On the 27th of June. Noah's naked body was sadly discovered deep inside a 1KM storm drain, between 2 exit pipes. This storm drain was accessible through an area unfamiliar to him, behind houses at Northwood Road

His bike was also found near a house in the same area. It had been there days before a member of public who lived in the street said she read reports of a missing child and checked the bike and phoned the police.

Most of his clothes were found in the same street, where the last known cctv sighting of the teenager was seen, on Northwood Road. Among them, his helmet. His shorts were not among those items. They are still missing. His coat was not among those items, it is still missing.

His laptop (after investigation) was taken by police from a member of the public. This person did not hand in his laptop voluntarily. His laptop was found/seized in North Belfast. His mobile phone was found in another part of Belfast, in North Queen Street.

Noah's 3 last CCTV videos, show him on York Road, fully dressed. The following 2 videos show Noah is naked on Northwood Road.

No cctv or eyewitnesses seen Noah actually removing his clothing between Skegoneill, Northwood Crescent and Northwood Road.

There was cctv footage handed in by a memeber of public who lived on Northwood Road of Noah cycling past her home naked.

There is also cctv footage of 14 year old Noah standing naked and walking between 2 houses at the top of Northwood Road. This was the final known sighting of young Noah.

At first, becuase a member of public had said she seen someone fitting the description of Noah fall of his bike (in North Queen Street), the police suggested that perhaps Noah may have suffered a concussion.

That this led him to become confused and take his clothes off. The coroner's report said that Noah had died of drowning. There was no mention of a concussion.

Noah's Mother has seen his last cctv videos. She saw only the moments of Noah's journey caught on camera, but has not yet seen the moments or hours before or after the videos were recorded. She has requested to see them in their entirety.

The last videos caught on cctv have caused a lot of confusion. As at first the police said Noah's last sighting was at 6:11pm, naked between 2 houses. They then changed the time, twice, and said they'd made a mistake and that the actual last sighting was 6:03pm.

As to date, Noah's shorts and coat have not been recovered. There has also not been anyone come forward with either cctv or eyewitness to show that Noah removed his clothing.
