In that he initiated this by asking the forum for help does justify any follow up by Forum members in my opinion. In fact it is kind of incumbant upon the forum to follow through on this. Not yet of course. But come Monday or Tuesday I hope someone will step up to the plate and initiate some action, trying to contact the family, perhaps even contacting some authority.

Probably the best thing to do would be for someone to post a message on the forum saying, in effect, "if we haven't heard from you by Monday, etc. then we are going to initiate some activity to contact your family, authorites, etc.

At that point he could contact anybody by PM is required to let the members here know that he is alright but just needs time to straighten things out.

Given the circumstances the forum, IMO, has some responsibilty to act.
