The Toronto Police Service is requesting the public's assistance identifying a deceased man
that was located on Friday, September 13, 2013, in the
Markham Road and Finch Avenue East area. It is possible that the man may not be a resident
of Toronto, but perhaps the United States or the United Kingdom.
The man is described as white, 55 to 75, red or strawberry blond hair which was turning white,
balding, and had a moustache and a soul patch. He had a partial dental plate (denture)
replacing his upper front teeth. He was wearing a black hooded "Point Zero" jacket € size
small, blue/white striped long sleeved shirt from H&M - size medium, straight cut "GAP-1969"
blue jeans - size 32 x 32, leather belt with rectangular silver-coloured buckle, white/grey sweat
socks and neon green/black Under Armour‚ running shoes € US size 9. These shoes were
produced in 2012, sold only in the USA, and show minimal to no wear on the soles.
He had some Canadian coins as well as a British 20-pence piece, a black gym bag with white
writing, an orange "BIC" lighter and empty package of PALL MALL blue cigarettes, squash
balls (double yellow dots - advanced play balls) a Turquoise Gillete‚ razor blade handle
(disposable), a bottle of Polo‚ aftershave (green with red horse and rider"
 
This is probably wishful thinking, since I would love for this particular missing person case to be resolved, but there is Michael Lee.

God only knows what he would have been doing in Canada, but he would almost certainly have had the funds to go abroad and he seemed to go missing voluntarily.

The first thing that came to mind when I saw the date was he might have been in town for the Toronto International Film Festival, which was September 5-15, 2013. Sounds like a well-travelled person judging by the American shoes, British coins, and being found in Canada.
 
Has this fellow been located?

"Gary Thomas Orgill has been missing since early October 2011 and is believed to be in the Halifax, Moncton or New Brunswick areas of Canada.

Gary's family are very concerned and need to make contact with him urgently. There are fears for his health.
