Former Ivory Coast defender found dead

Lohore Steve Ulrich Gohouri's (known as Steve Gohouri) dead body has been recovered from the river Rhine. The 34 year old player was missing from middle of December, after he attended his current fourth division German side TSV Steibach's Christmas party on 11 December and was due to travel to see his family in Paris. As he failed to appear, on 12 December their loved ones filed a missing persons report. Tragically for them a body was recovered on New Year's eve in Krefeld, north of Dusseldorf, which later was subsequently identified as Gohouri. An autopsy showed no evidence of violence on his body by third parties. Gohouri who was born in Ivory Coast, moved to France as a 5 year old where he was raised in the suburbs of Paris.
This defender began his football career in France and played for clubs in Israel, Switzerland, Liechtenstein, England, Greece and Germany. Debuted for his country in 2006, won 12 caps and scored 3 goals. He also was a member of Ivory Coast 2010 World Cup and 2008 African Cup of Nations squad.
