Lee McLaughlin’s family are appealing for information to help locate the 19-year-old who has been missing in Paris since Tuesday morning.

Lee McLaughlin, from Gleneely in Donegal, has been missing from his hotel since Tuesday morning.

He had been in France for the Republic of Ireland’s Euro 2016 game against Sweden in the Stade de France the night before, and was staying with family at the Ibis Paris Montmartre hotel.

He was last seen in his hotel and has not been heard from after staff at the hotel believed he had gone out to buy a phone charger.

“Lee’s father and nephew went for breakfast this morning. He was sleeping in the hotel room and, when they came back, he was gone,” Lee’s cousin Gerard Doherty told JOE.ie.

“They initially tried ringing him, but his phone rang out, before the phone died altogether.

“The hotel said he went out to buy a charger for his phone, so they thought that he might have gone to the airport, but he wasn’t there.”

Lee’s father remains in Paris with his son’s passport and, if you have any information whatsoever, please do not hesitate to get in touch.
