Man who fell to death from balcony had 'generous heart'

William Waheed Lyall's family said he would be "missed but never forgotten".

The family of a man who fell from a fourth-floor balcony have spoken of their "immense sadness and shock" at his unexpected death.

William Waheed Lyall, 57, was found dead outside an apartment building in Salford on Sunday.

In a tribute, his family said he was a "loving, strong, and resilient" man whose "values and love will forever guide us".

Two men and a woman who were arrested on suspicion of Mr Lyall's murder have been bailed as the investigation continues.

Mr Lyall fell from the fourth floor of the apartment block at Black Friar Court in Salford

Greater Manchester Police were called to Black Friar Court apartments in Salford on Sunday evening, where Mr Lyall was found dead.

A man, 37, and a woman, 40, were both arrested on suspicion of murder, and later a 45-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of the same offence.

All three have since been bailed.

Mr Lyall's family said his three children "meant the world to him and he taught them that true strength comes from selflessness".

They added: “As a brother, he was fun to be with and was always a shoulder to lean on.

"We will miss his kindness, generous heart and his contagious hearty laughter."
