It was later revealed that two other people were present in the flat on the evening of Jay's death, and one of these people were still being sought by police to obtain a statement. In 2005, his parents issued an appeal for Mahmoud Rahman, an acquaintance of Jay's who visited the flat on the night, believed to be the last person to speak to him to contact them or the police. Jay was not known to have been depressed, and he had spoken cheerfully to his family earlier the same evening.
