I don't know about anyone else, but it always breaks my heart when I read, "Few details are available on his case." So sad!

I agree. I feel for his family and I feel for him. Whatever wound up happening to him, he felt like he couldn't go back home to his loved ones. He must have felt very alone in this world.
