Patch!!!

[rabidbadger]

We love you. please reply.

[rabidbadger]

dammit he eradicated his pownce, too. damn. I got a horrible feeling...

Best I've been able to do so far is contact the Bellevue PD, but didn't have a whole lot of information. They tried to track him down using his cell number, but couldn't. Cell, XBox gammertag, and city is about all we have to go on right now and watching for reports of anything in that area. Tomorrow I'll be calling the area hospitals.

[rabidbadger]

babe, you rock!

[phatlip12]

We're here for you Patch. I'm sending you a PM now with my cell phone number.

[ariastar]

Tomorrow I'm going to try to see if Microsoft will give me any info connected with his Gamertag. If not, I'm going to see if I can find some connection to someone who is in a position to get the info. Fingers crossed!

[radzack]

what happened?

[ericjosepi]

Well this is certainly fucking frightening...

[ariastar]

what happened?

Very real reason to believe he's committed suicide. He's been talking about it on and off for a time and we've tried to be encouraging, but a mailed suicide letter and other actions, from giving away his dogs to sending all the money he had with the letter, combined with an absolute inability to reach him by e-mail and phone is leading us to believe the worst, and we're trying to find some way to get a hold of him to check on him and, if by some good stroke of luck he's still alive, get him help.

People who fake this shit don't leave mail tangible evidence and money or give phone numbers. They keep their existence entirely online. Patch didn't. So he's not faking this.

God...I really hope your ok Patch...Please be.

Keep us updated on what you have Aria....

[gi_josh]

More importantly, if it was just a stunt to get attention. He'd probably be in contact somehow.

[radzack]

If it were a stunt, and he is still browsing forums, an ip grab would be easy. This sucks.

More importantly, people don't fake an attempt at suicide by making themselves hard to find. However, I wouldn't assume the worst. We have nothing more that a cry for help. He may be someplace getting care.

[patch]

I just got out of the hospital. Stop hounding me. There's really nothing any of you can do to help. This runs deeper than any of you know.

[samureye]

Should these threads be removed?

[masherscf]

I think continuing the conversation is private is a good thing.

Get well.
