A touching tribute has been paid to the man who died after falling from a fourth-floor balcony in Salford.
The man, who has now been named as William Waheed Lyall, has been described as a ‘loving, strong, resilient’ man by his family.
The 57-year-old passed away on Sunday after he fell from an apartment at Black Friar Court in Salford.
Three people were arrested on suspicion of murder and have since been bailed.
Greater Manchester Police are still investigation the circumstances of his death.
A spokesperson for William’s family said: “It is with immense sadness and shock that the family of William Waheed Lyall have learnt of his unexpected death.
“William was loving, strong, resilient and worked tirelessly to provide for his family, not seeking recognition but wanting to see them happy. His children meant the world to him and he taught them that true strength comes from selflessness.
“As a brother, he was fun to be with and was always a shoulder to lean on. We will miss his kindness, generous heart and his contagious hearty laughter.
“William may no longer be with us but his spirit, his values and his love will forever guide us. William leaves behind three children Aadel, Ahel, Francesco and his wife Dida.
“The family trusts that the police will leave no stone unturned to determine the details of this tragedy. We await the completion of the police investigation so that we can bury William at the Salford Muslim cemetery.
“Rest in peace, dear William you will be forever missed but never forgotten.”
Officers are continuing to investigate and anyone with information is asked to contact police via 101 or gmp.police.uk, quoting log 3044 of 11/8/24.
