The body of former Newcastle United footballer Christian Atsu has been found under the rubble of the building where he lived in Turkey, his agent has said.
Atsu had been missing since earthquakes hit Turkey and Syria on February 6.
He had been misidentified and falsely reported as hospitalised last week.
A statement from the representative of Atsu, Nana Sechere, said: "It is with the heaviest of hearts that I have to announce to all well-wishers that sadly Christian Atsu's body was recovered this morning.
"My deepest condolences go to his family and loved ones.

Terrible news. Thoughts and prayers with his family and all of those who have died and their families and friends
I don’t understand how it was reported that he had survived and been taken to hospital, only for it to then transpire that his body had been found.

Just saw that only hours before he died he scored a last minute winning free kick for his side. What a surreal chain of events. Going from absolute elation to dying in an earthquake 😢
RIP Christian
