Crime reporter(es/wp):
The body of a Heathrow airport worker was recovered from the Thames months after he was granted UK citizenship.
Mateusz Dajnowicz, 30, of Brentford, was found in the water near Kew Pier on September 22, a week after he was reported missing.
It is believed his body was spotted by a member of the public. Mr Dajnowicz’s friends, who had appealed online for help to find him, said he was last seen on CCTV leaving his flat, near Kew Bridge, on his own and wearing pyjamas.
His family flew in from Poland this week to identify his body and police are not treating his death as suspicious.
Mr Dajnowicz, who moved to London a decade ago, was working as a manager for the airport’s cleaning contractor team after completing an apprenticeship in hospitality six months ago.
He had visited Brighton and Paris this summer. His friend Cassandra Hutchinson said: “He was such a nice lad, very hard-working and he really enjoyed his work. We all can’t believe it and are just in shock.”
Another friend, Gul Din, said: “He was just such a lovely soul and very fun-loving. If he ever saw a karaoke stand, he would be up there singing without a care in the world.”
Mr Dajnowicz had just started another course at work with the help of Anita Gomez, his assessor at HIT Training college, who said he would have gone on to do great things.
“He had one of the cutest smiles and would always have a joke for you,” she added. “He had just got his British citizenship about three months ago. He was so happy. It meant everything to him.”
