A 25-year-old British man who was working as a football coach in the US has been stabbed to death in New York.
Mike Jones, originally of Tarleton, Lancashire, was attacked in Manhattan in the early hours of Sunday, the New York Police Department (NYPD) said.
Mr Jones, who coached the New York Red Bulls juniors, was declared dead on arrival at Bellevue Hospital, New York.
An NYPD spokesman said the coach had been found with a severed ear and stab wounds to his head and neck.
'Cannot believe it'His father Perry said one of his son's friends had alerted the family to contact the NYPD via the social media website Facebook.

"I contacted the police and I was totally shocked, I was expecting to hear he had been injured in an accident," said Mr Perry.
"We just cannot believe it."
He said his son spent 10 months a year in the US working as a coach and had just got his own apartment with two friends.
Mr Jones added: "He loved New York and he loved the lifestyle and was working hoping to get a visa so he could stay there full time."
Officers answering an emergency call found Mr Jones on the street near 25 West 14th Street at about 04:30 local time (09:30 BST).
Mr Jones had spent the evening with his girlfriend and they had parted just before midnight.
His body was found on the pavement and he had been stabbed in the neck and chest.
Witnesses said he had been arguing with a man but it is unclear whether Mr Jones knew his attacker.
The NYPD spokesman confirmed a "homicide investigation" was under way.
