British man drowned after missing at Rotterdam gaming event

A 21-year-old British man who went missing after attending a gaming convention in Rotterdam has been found dead. Bradley Passey was last seen by friends outside the Munch nightclub on Maasboulevard at approximately 2 a.m. on May 30. He had been in the Netherlands for the TwitchCon event and was staying at a hostel in the Overblaak Cube Houses area but did not return after a night out.

Concern grew when Passey failed to board his scheduled flight home the following Monday and all contact ceased. Family members traveled to Rotterdam to assist local authorities in an extensive search operation. They distributed missing persons posters and inquired about potential security footage.

The search concluded tragically when his family received confirmation of his death. His sister, Amy Passey, announced on social media that her brother had drowned in the River Maas. In a Facebook post, she wrote, "This isn't a post we ever thought we would be sharing, but we have sadly had confirmation this morning that Bradley Passey unfortunately drown in River Maas." She added that the family had hoped for private time to process the loss before the news became public.
