After Jordan's death, his twin brother Olly paid an emotional tribute to him and spoke of his devastation at the loss of his ‘other half’. “My twin Jordan was the funniest person to ever walk into a room. He lit it up always," he told the M.E.N. “You heard him before you saw him, he loved to be loud. He was full of joy and constantly singing the top note to any song and making funny dances. "He wasn’t just my brother, he was my twin, my other half. We had a bond that could never be broken, we did everything together. "I can’t tell you how broken I am that Jordan’s no longer here. It will never be the same without him here. Rest in peace my twinny, my best friend, my angel.” As Jordan's mum, Laura, added: "Jordan was a young, loving, caring person. He had an impact on the life of everyone who met him. Jordan's smile would light up a room. He loved to dance and was very popular. I am heartbroken." In an update on Tuesday (October 28), Greater Manchester Police have issued new CCTV images in the hope of locating a witness, who they say was driving behind the vehicle involved in the collision and got out to assist. They are believed to have been driving a black car – possibly a hatchback. While the CCTV images aren’t fully clear, GMP say they hope that the owner recognises their vehicle, remembers the incident, and comes forward. Anyone who witnessed the incident, or has dashcam, CCTV or mobile phone footage, should contact police on 101 or 0161 856 4741 quoting log number 464 of 18/09/25.
