They did kind of an extended piece on him last night on the national news, I think it was NBC but not sure. He seemed like just a wonderful young man, had videos he had made of himself, among which was a list of 50 significant things he had done so far in his life (example: climb Devil’s Tower in WY, scuba dive in Pacific...) one of them was “I kissed a dolphin.” For whatever reason, I really choked up at that one.
Did he die?
I saw the same piece you did. He seemed like a bright, fun, engaging young man with his life in front of him. I doubt he will be found alive, but I hope they find his body. How sad.
