"Despite all of our best efforts over the past 3 weeks, tragically it is not the outcome that all of us wished and prayed so hard for”.
Michael, known as ‘Cull’ to his friends, was a well-known beatbox artist having performed across Britain and Ireland for a number of years.
Loved-ones of the 33-year-old undertook extensive efforts to find him after he went missing, launching the social media campaign #HelpFindMichaelCullen and distributing flyers across Belfast.
Heartbroken Niall added: "Michael was a highly talented guy as those who saw him perform will testify to, but he was also a much loved son, brother, cousin and friend to many whose hearts are now broken.
"I can only hope he will look down on us and see the huge amount of love we all had for him.”
