Tributes are being paid to Primrose Hill man John Regan, whose body was found in the Regent's Canal near Camden Lock last night.
Dozens of friends of the popular Mr Regan, of Chalcot Road, have posted messages on a special Facebook page set up in his honour.
Mr Regan's devastated friends and family had conducted an intensive search after he went missing last Wednesday evening after leaving a bar on Chalk Farm Road. CCTV captured him heading towards the canal, seemingly on his way home.
Yesterday police divers searched the canal but found no trace of 30-year-old Mr Regan, raising the hopes that he could still be alive and well. His last movements and the question of how he ended up in the canal are still a mystery but police are not treating his death as suspicious.
Mr Regan, who worked as a sports analyst for the firm Star Lizard in Camden Town will be sorely missed by those who knew him both in London and in his home town of Matlock in Derbyshire.
One friend Jonathan Lake wrote on Facebook: "Jonathan Lake wrote: "A super, super nice bloke who was incredibly intelligent, interesting and funny and very unique- In short a brilliant person to be around who gave me so much happiness over the years."
