How awful! I hope they're able to find him safe and sound somewhere.

My thoughts and prayers go out to his family, friends, and colleagues.

An uncommon occurrence, for sure. I hope the guy's alright, and my thoughts go out to his friends and family.

Glad to hear he's OK, question is how did he went missing in the first place?

Definitely glad. According to the facebook link he was recently discharged from a hospital in Windsor, Ontario and it mentioned its quite possible no one could reach him because his cell phone was dead.

Hence why a missing person report was filed. That does make sense, but I'm glad he's OK.

I first found out about this from a Staff ML I'm on. I was relieved to see he was found so quickly. I remember working with him at a convention before, and seeing him at numerous others. So it really brings it home when you actually know the person too.

It's not really THAT important, but I do wonder how he ended up in a hospital in Windsor instead of Detroit, as he was going to a convention in Pontiac (a suburb of Detroit) apparently. I guess maybe he was going to take Highway 401 and cut across Canada, and something happened obviously.

I have to imagine something happened to his phone, otherwise I can't imagine they wouldn't try charging it and/or turn it on to see if people were calling to wonder about him.

The Facebook link says that he was first going to an associate's home in Pittsburgh, before going to Pontiac. If this information is correct, then he wouldn't be taking the 401.

I used to lived in the city next to Pontiac and I can tell you I would never go into Pontiac, it is to dangerous since the manufacturing jobs left the city. something probably happened to him in Pontiac and Detroit couldn't handle it very well or his insurance didn't work there and the closest place was in Windsor. which is only an hour and a half away

Glad he got home safely. I just find it crazy that he was in a hospital in Windsor haha xD Seeing that's where I'm from and let me tell ya. No wonder he's been gone so long. The health care in Windsor is garbage.
