Oh, no. This is heartbreaking. So sad. RIP, young man. Condolences to his family and friends. What a horrible thing to have happen. Everyone tried their best in this emergency situation. A real tragedy.
Wonderful work by the searchers, too.
Such a terrible thing, isn't it. He was a bright young man who seemed to have a great future ahead of him. Such a huge loss for any parent.
@helpfulcharlie From the videos of people hiking the trails there, it's very steep with some bid drop-offs. When he first disappeared into the woods, IIRC, it was at night. He could have fallen in the dark.

So, so sad
Sincere prayers to this entire family.
Yep! Accutane (isotretinoin) is very restricted, and despite its serious potential for psychiatric, it’s only Black Box Warning is due to its even higher risk for severe birth defects. In order for someone to be on Accutane they have to be enrolled in iPledge. Females on the medication have to commit to using two forms of birth control and get a negative pregnancy test every month before the pharmacy can fill it. As with every single medication/drug/herbal supplement, it’s important to weigh risks vs. benefits.
The half-life of isotretinoin is ~16 hours, and we generally think of “the rule of 5” (or it takes 5 half-lives) to reach a steady level or functionally eliminate (this is a very general principle and does not take into account countless other factors). Meaning it’s expected to take ~80 hours for the drug to be primarily eliminated. I suspect he still had the drug in his system if he has been taking it regularly and that it hadn’t been too long since he went missing. However, he was also at the age when psychiatric conditions tend to present themselves, clouding this already complicated picture.
So many prayers that they will be able to find peace.

According to a post from his mother's friend on the SNP facebook page, his doctor had recently doubled the dose he was taking. He began to have a bad reaction fairly early, including seizures. Took him to the hospital, he was later released.
Sounds like this stuff should be taken off the market.

I have checked our local newspaper for an article and finally today...
The only new information added is below:
Officials have said little about the circumstances behind Sauer's disappearance.
Comer confirmed late Monday that he was from Union Beach.
Sauer was a member of the track and field team at Keyport High School, according to records from athletic.net.
Keyport Public Schools posted about his disappearance on Facebook over the weekend.
Body of Union Beach teen believed to been found in Virginia park
Condolences to Ty's family and friends

My heart really goes out to his family. I am SO sorry this happened to your loved-one.
I personally think Accutane should stay on the market for cystic acne but it is a serious drug... I am wondering if he was on a half-dose to start with and the doctor simply doubled it recently to the standard dose, and he just had a rare reaction?
Again sincere condolences to his family and friends.

I didn't follow Ty Sauer's case at the time, but I just read this recent article in the Washington Post, which details his story and the search, with photos. His untimely death was such a tragedy for his family.
If you can't access the Post, here is a gift article link:
Chandra Maxwell couldn’t contain her panic.
“My son just crashed his car on Skyline Drive,” she wailed. “Please! He ran out of the car, and now he’s in the woods. Please, you’ve gotta help me.”
The dispatcher at the Page County Sheriff’s Office offered to transfer her to the headquarters for Shenandoah National Park. As the call beeped, Chandra peered into the darkness. Her 18-year-old son Ty was out there somewhere, lost in the Virginia wilderness.
Ty’s father, John Sauer, swept the flashlight of his cellphone along the forest’s edge, looking for him.
It was Thursday, April 22, 2021, and the couple had chased their son more than 300 miles from their home in Union Beach, N.J., to a scenic overlook in Shenandoah, a place none of them had ever been before. Somehow Ty, an honor roll student just two months from his high school graduation, had become one of the hundreds of people who go missing in a national park each year — a number that has risen as visitors flooded national parks during the pandemic....

it's actually wild how much stuff happens in state and national parks.
whether it be missing persons, murders, or suicides... something scary seems to be happening at all times.
