The body of Azkaban guard Gilgamesh Shahidi was found today by muggle hikers at the base of the Bempton Cliffs in Yorkshire. The Department of Magical Law Enforcement is considering the case suspicious and are investigating.

Shahidi, 41, was a guard at Azkaban prison for nearly twenty years and most recently was assigned to the Excessive Security Block where Wizarding Britain’s most dangerous inmates are housed.

Level Two has released few details, but the Daily Prophet has learned the body was found far from the base of the cliff. A single high heeled shoe was found nearby.

“We caution the public to be cautious, although really, what can we say? Keep away from cliffs.”

They went on to say that if anyone has any information regarding this incident to immediately contact the Department of Magical Law Enforcement.

Mr. Shahidi was known for having a sterling employment record at Azkaban, and is survived by his wife, four brothers, and two children. The family is requesting privacy at this time.
