Police launch investigation after bar worker, 20, found dead in Manchester flat
Manchester police released three people on bail who were arrested in connection with drug supply
A 20-year-old woman has died at an apartment in Manchester, as police said three people arrested in connection with drug supply were released on bail.
The woman, who worked at the Gorilla bar, was found after police officers attended a welfare call at a flat on Grosvenor Street.
Gorilla bar posted a statement on social media saying that one of their team members tragically passed away at the apartment in the early hours of Thursday morning.
Greater Manchester Police said that three arrests were made in connection with drug supply but added that those arrested have since been bailed.
In a statement on Facebook, Gorilla bar said: “We do not have any detailed information as to what occurred at this time, and it would be inappropriate for us to comment further particularly whilst there is an ongoing police investigation.
“Naturally, we have reached out to Greater Manchester Police and informed them that we will assist in any way we can in terms of uncovering what has happened.
“Our thoughts and prayers are with the family and friends of our deceased colleague at this very sad time”.
A spokesperson for the Greater Manchester Police said: “Officers responded to an incident on Grosvenor street, Manchester after reports of a concern for welfare.”
They added that officers discovered the body of the woman at the flat. The spokesperson continued: “Three arrests were made in connection to drug supply. They have since been bailed. Enquiries are ongoing.”
This article was amended on 20 October 2025 to change the age of the person who died from 19 to 20. Initial information from the police incorrectly gave the woman’s age as 19.
