FORMER world champion boxer David Haye has given his backing to the Remember My Noah campaign.

In a short video shared on social media, Haye, a former WBA heavyweight champion, who won a silver medal at the World Amateur Championships in Belfast in 2001,said he was supporting Fiona Donohoe in her quest to find answers about the death of her son.

Noah Donohoe, a 14-year-old St Malachy's College pupil went missing on June 21. His body was found in a storm drain in north Belfast six days later.

The Donohoe family set up the @MyNoah8 Twitter account and a similar Facebook account in memory of the teenager.

A Belfast court examining the disappearance of Noah has heard there is no evidence that he was attacked, or that any other person was involved.

A post-mortem examination found he died as a result of drowning.

During a pre-inquest hearing in August coroner Joe McCrisken also stressed investigations are continuing. The next hearing is scheduled for early November.
