Family pay tribute to one-of-a-kind Craig Foy

The family of Craig Foy (40) from Whitefield, whose body was sadly discovered in Heaton Park on Sunday 3 August 2025, after being reported missing the previous week, have issued a tribute to Craig:

“Beloved Craig Foy (aka Kirwan) - Son, brother, father, uncle, and friend to many. Our cheeky funny loveable one of a kind who will be sorely missed by all who knew him.

“We as a family would like to thank everyone who helped share and search for Craig, and sent messages of love and support at this incredibly difficult time.”

Detective Chief Inspector Jill Billington from our Major Incident Team said: “A thorough investigation has been ongoing since Craig was reported missing and will continue, to ensure we get Craig’s family the answers they deserve.

“At the moment, the cause of Craig’s death, and the circumstances which led to it, are still to be determined pending further tests.

“The three individuals previously arrested in connection with Craig’s death have been released with no further action.

“We are continuing to support Craig’s family throughout this period."
