Former Premier League footballer found dead
Former Premier League footballer Steve Gohouri has been found dead in a river in Germany. The 34-year-old, who played defence for Wigan Athletic between 2010 and 2012, had been reported missing two weeks ago.
Ghouri attended his German team's Christmas party on December 11 and was due to travel to see his family in Paris.
When he failed to turn up his family filed a missing persons report and a police appeal for his whereabouts was issued.
German media confirmed today his body had been found in the River Rhine, with no indication of violence.
Gohouri was born on the Ivory Coast, but moved to France as a young boy and grew up in Paris.
During his career he played for teams in Israel, Switzerland and Germany before joining Wigan in 2010.
He was released at the end of the 2011/12 season and went on to join a Greek side in 2013.
Gohouri played for his national Ivory Coast side in 2006, scoring three goal during his appearances.
Tributes have been paid to the player online and on social media, including one from his former UK side.

President Buhari replies Gov. Fayose
President Muhammadu Buhari has said that the names of those who returned looted public funds would not be divulged, pending the determination of cases in courts.
Buhari made the disclosure on Wednesday in Abuja during his maiden Presidential Media Chat.
It would be recalled that Ekiti state governor, Ayodele Fayose, called on Buhari to publicly list the names of Nigerians who had stolen the state funds.
According to him, some people have returned stolen monies but their names will not be made public as they are assumed innocent until they are found guilty by the courts.
He said that his government had fared well so far in the fight against corruption and appealed to Nigerians to be patient.
He added that “under whatever circumstance, we cannot prejudge what the courts will do.
“We will submit the documents but how the Ministry of Justice will react to it is what we have to develop the patience.
“Once we have gone to court, we should keep our mouth shut; we cannot comment on issues when they are still in court.
“Monies have been recovered; the courts have discovered some looted monies in terms of submissions made to them and documentations including bank statements, where the monies are lodged and how much.
“I think we are doing quite well; considering the circumstances.
“Those suspected of being corrupt are innocent until they are proved guilty by the court.”
The President said that the Federal Government had found some documents indicating that so much money had been diverted into personal pockets.
He explained that documents had shown that Nigeria’s crude oil had been lifted illegally and the proceeds put into personal accounts instead of Federal Government’s account.
He, however, urged Nigerians to be patient and wait for the outcome of investigations and prosecutions, noting that Nigeria would be better for it.

After 9 Years of No Child, Woman Delivers 1st Baby of 2016 At Abuja Hospital
When it's time for God to bless you after you have been waiting on Him for long, he has a way of adding some jara to the blessings...laughs. The baby pictured above has been declared Nigeria’s first baby of the year 2016. He was born at exactly 1:55 am at Abuja Teaching Hospital in Gwagwalada.
The lucky baby boy born to the family of Mr and Mrs Francis Elue from Niger State weighed 3.9kg. I hear his parents waited for 9 years to have him. Seems the baby was waiting to make history. Congrats!
