The mortal remains of 13-year-old Zaheid Ali was recovered from the Thames on April 28. Zaheid had fallen off the Tower Bridge in London.
Zaheid was said to have been travelling with a friend on a bus but was reported missing by his school’s headteacher on 20 April. It is understood he left the bus near London Bridge, one stop before he would usually get off for his school. “According to witnesses, a member of the public went into the water to try to save the teenager but managed only to retrieve his school bag and jacket as he disappeared under the water,” The Guardian reported. City of London police confirmed Zaheid’s age and released two pictures of him from his family, one showing him dressed in his yellow and black school uniform, and another in which he is relaxing on a sofa.
