Orlando Nyero, 19, drowned in a canal in Manchester's city centre after going on a drunken 3am stroll A first-year university student who'd never tried alcohol before he left home drowned in a canal after he went on a drunken 3am stroll, an inquest heard. Heavily-intoxicated Orlando Nyero, 19, had been chucked out of a Manchester nightclub for being sick in the toilets in June last. He was taken to a Jury's Inn hotel by his concerned best friend - but the Ugandan-born teen, from Bolton, mysteriously went out again for a walk around canal locks in the city centre. It is believed the forensic science student then accidentally slipped and fell into a stretch of the water which was unprotected by barriers at Lock 90 of the Rochdale Canal. His body was recovered two days later with tests showing he had 195 milligrams of alcohol per 100 millilitres of blood in his system. The blood alcohol limit for driving is 80mg. The Wolverhampton University student was the 87th person whose body had been found in Greater Manchester's canals since 2007. Another student was found drowned in the same stretch of water three months earlier. An inquest heard the tragedy occurred on June 3 last year after Orlando had been out with his brother and a number of friends at an Italian restaurant during a trip home. The group went to Viva nightclub near the Deansgate Locks complex but Orlando became so intoxicated he was asked to leave. Best friend Emmanuel Yoak, 25, said he took Orlando back to the Jurys inn hotel where a room had been booked for the night. It's thought the forensic science student accidentally slipped and fell into a stretch of the water which was unprotected by barriers at Lock 90 (shown) He told the Manchester hearing: 'We got to the hotel around 3am and I took Orlando to the room and tried to get him to go to sleep - but he didn't want to go to sleep. 'When I came back downstairs, he followed me. Whilst I was talking to the security guards, he vanished. 'My plan had been to hand in the key and go back to where my brother was. We go downstairs together all I saw was someone running downstairs I didn't know where he went. He was talking slow and his walking was not steady.' CCTV of Orlando's movements in the run up to his death showed him swaying from side to side. Police coroners officer Marie Morgan said: 'At 2.15am Orlando was found by staff at Viva being sick in the bathroom. He was helped by his brother who took his bank card to prevent him buying more drinks and at 2.30am he was asked to leave the nightclub. 'He was taken outside for fresh air by his brother and friends and Mr Yoak was using his mobile phone to video Orlando staggering about. The Ugandan-born teen had been chucked out of a nightclub for being sick and was taken to a hotel by his concerned friend 'Shortly after 3:30am Orlando is seen to leave onto Bridgewater Street and then turn right out of sight. He is seen to be moving side to side, jogging and running. 'There doesn't seem to be any particular reason for Orlando's behaviour. The last sighting is towards the Deansgate Locks area.' Orlando's mother Flora Ingullo said: 'I didn't know at all that my son had been taking alcohol and this was the first time I knew he drank it. 'It seems he started when he went to university. He was just a lovely, happy boy - he was so happy. At the time we started looking for him we asked all around and his friends just said they took him to sleep because he was so tired. 'Orlando doesn't know Manchester because he grew up in Bolton and the thing which caused his death was the fact there was no barrier. That place is dangerous and when someone is in drink they cannot hardly stand and could end up in the water. Why do they not put a barrier in that area? Recording a verdict of accidental death Nigel Meadows said: 'Orlando was well entitled to go out and enjoy himself - how many of us could possibly say we had not done the same at that age. Orlando was taken to this Jury's Inn hotel by his concerned best friend - but the Ugandan-born teen mysteriously went out again for a walk around canal locks 'The evidence suggests he might have had quite a bit of alcohol if he was unwell in the toilets in the night club and worse for drink which was recognised by his close friend. 'He left the hotel shortly after 3:30am but we don't know where he was going or why. He might have become confused he might have been thinking he was going one way for some purpose all we know is that he followed a certain route. 'Unfortunately there is no evidence of him actually entering the water. He could have over balanced, slipped, misplaced his feet, we just don't know. He ended up in the water but there was no suspicious circumstances in his death. 'There are many canals where people could have incidents in the water and it would be impossible to try and have every bit of the canal covered by CCTV - likewise it is probably impossible to have fencing at every point. 'Losing a family member is a tremendous shock and distressing. It is against the natural order of events we don't expect to deal with the funerals of our own children.'All rights reserved for this news site dailymail and under his responsibility
