A Rugby player has been discovered dead on the floor of a Barcelona nightclub after mysteriously disappearing during a trip with his friends.

Redcliffe Dolphins star, Liam Hampson, 24, was on holiday in Europe with Gold Coast Titans fullback Alexander ‘AJ’ Brimson and Brisbane Broncos stars Jordan Riki and Jesse Arthars when he suddenly went missing.

On Wednesday night, October 19, in a post on social media, Brimson revealed that Hampson had not been sighted since visiting the Spanish bar Sala Apolo at 4.30am on Tuesday.

After a 30-hour search, Barcelona Police confirmed early Thursday that a lifeless body believed to be Hampson had been found at the venue.

‘This morning, nightclub staff where Liam was last seen found a body on the floor in an area of the nightclub, Sala Apolo,’ a police statement said. The Spanish newspaper El Mundo reported police believe Hampson may have fallen from a height of 10 meters.

Hampson’s father and sister later confirmed the sad news in heart-wrenching social media posts.

‘Waking up to the news no one wants to hear, we are devastated to find out that Liam had an accident and sadly has not survived,’ his dad Brett posted on Facebook.

‘We are heartbroken to say the least. Liam had a heart of gold and was a much-loved son, brother, grandson, uncle, and friend. Words cannot express our grief.

‘We cannot thank his mates enough for being there with Liam, having the time of his life, and assisting in the search for our boy. Our thoughts are with them.’

Hampson’s sister Tiarna also posted a similar tribute hours after she issued a desperate appeal to find him. ‘We are so heartbroken,’ she posted.

‘Liam was the best brother I ever could have asked for and made me a better person. We cannot express our grief.

‘We cannot thank the boys he was traveling with enough for assisting with his search and making sure his last days were the best of his life.

‘Going to miss you so much, Liam.’
