Found Deceased NI - Noah Donohoe, 14, North Belfast, 21 June 2020

[HayLouise]

Police say they are probing how the bag and Lenovo laptop came to be where they were discovered.
But Supt Muir Clark said: "We do not believe that at this stage, the current find is related to Noah going missing."

PSNI hope Noah Donohoe's electronic devices will 'lead us to the right answers'

I don’t get it... :/

**UPDATE**

CRS, looking for Noah Donohoe are going door to door asking to search your garden. They are not the police, they don’t care if you have 6 stolen trafffic cones in a shed, please give them access to search. Nothing is worth hindering this search @BelTel

**UPDATE**

The residents of Jellicoe Avenue in north Belfast have thrown their gates open as light begins to fade. Search and Rescue teams sweep through the gardens here looking for Noah Donohoe. Great to see the community assisting in what way they can @BelTel

Neither do I. Confusing. It's his backpack, he left with it and he's missing.

I could imagine someone finding a bag with a laptop in and thinking 'result' and taking it home.
Then maybe reading about this story and realising oh god that's the bag I found I better call it in.
Therefore the police thinking that "where the laptop came to be discovered" (i.e in this persons possession) not being related. The place where this person found it is of course related but i don't think that is what they meant.

I think this is the most probable thing that happened. Maybe even a kid found it, then their mum has seen it in their room.

It's actually not that easy to fall off your bike. I'm starting to think that Noah's falling from the bike could have been caused by a mini-stroke, epileptic fit, vertigo or even a severe psychotic episode, and that it was this, rather than any possible head injury, which led to his behaviour after the fall.

It could also have been an adverse reaction to drugs. Those who know Noah will no doubt tell me that this just isn't possible, but my guess is that it is easier in the UK for teenagers to get their hands on drugs than it is to buy cigarettes. I see kids from "good" areas smoking cannabis every day. I think the "drugs" explanation is a lot less likely than the "medical episode" explanation, but I don't think it can be completely discounted.

Anything is possible, but the timeline is too tight for me for drugs to be involved.

I’m thinking maybe someone was giving chase and that led him to crash his bike. His clothes removal could have been due to a struggle with someone.

I am not at all knowledgeable about street drugs and how fast they act, but are you saying that if he took something as he left the house, for instance, there would not be enough time for reaction to occur like falling off his bike or taking off his clothes?

 

[Whometoo]

At this stage I think anything is possible. Another day and still no sign. Our kids, our friends, our family... they're all talking about the possibilities. This is too close to home and just so bizarre. I feel sick at the thought of letting my son out on his bike to meet friends I can't even imagine how his poor mum is coping.

If you're replying to me, I was thinking more along the lines of the timeline being too tight to meet up with someone and do drugs.

But as there's nothing to suggest drugs were involved I'm going to step away from this angle.

I still think this poor lad has for whatever reason ended up sheltering and deteriorated medically... so sad

I agree Legally. No hint of drugs in anything I've seen and it doesn't fit with me either for many reasons that I'm not going to get into. Stepping away with you
