Oh wow! Crying or Very sad

My thoughts and prayers go out to his family. I hope that he is found soon.

Please keep us updated as to when he is found!

Obviously he enjoyed the con so much he jumped on a plane and went to Japan.

But seriously, I hope he's alright and his family is in my prayers.

Hope he didn't get pulled over by the cops there - they would toss him in jail and he wouldnt be able to make a phone call for 3 weeks.

I know you are joking but that is an unfair bash against the southern states.Like saying all Boston red sox fans are rabid stupid idiots(they are not..despite me loving the yankess).
I hope he is ok and comes back alive.

For whatever reason, the link to the animazement forum doesn't appear to match an existing topic.

Okay, this is hardly the most official source of info, but I just read in the Greensboro LJ community that they found him....

He committed suicide.

I saw that too, and found this other thread on Animazement's forum, which states that he committed suicide in Greensboro.

If that's correct, his family has my condolences.

A picture here on ANN would've helped. That NBC17 link keeps crashing on me.

Yes. And the sad thing is, as Arthur Miller pointed out, "suicide kills two people": the deceased and those who have to live with the grief, the loss and the unanswered questions for a lifetime. My prayers and thoughts go out to his family if indeed he did take his life.
