Depending on a user's privacy setting, some sites let you search for users by their email address so you could potentially find his Facebook, Twitter, etc. if he used the same email.

A US citizen could potentially contact authorities with a photo from the selfie thread and that info. I don't know if they would take a report like that seriously though. But it would be only done in the interest of his well-being.

Oh god. That seems really too close to what the situation currently is......................

Thanks for sharing the story. Lets keep an eye on it.

The report you edited in says white male. From what I can see TreeB is not white.

He won Fran Bow from you, so you should be able to see his email here on SG ... if you can make anything from it (real name?) could you forward that info to ambidot? Might help

(Maybe just give that address to MagnificentOne or ambidot regardless, but better don't post it here publicly)

Edit: realized I have that email myself, found some stuff, gave to ambidot

Oh. I was about to tell you the same I replied to vinirockman above, but then I read again, and then I realized I won something from him too and yes, he sent it by mail. So ... I'll just follow my own advice.

Body? Got news article?

Let's hope he gets the help he needs and will soon be back on SG. Great work everyone in tracking down what happened and showing such concern.

Thankyou for the update - I am relieved to hear it - it is never good when someone reaches that point

nice to hear. thanks for letting us know

This is great to hear.

Thanks for the update

That's great to hear. I hope he'll get the treatment he needs.

That's good to hear.
I can sleep happy now.

That's a relief, I was worried after reading the post.
Thanks for letting us know.

Good work everyone. Best wishes to TreeB.

Thank you for the update, and great work :)

That is great news. I hope the original post can be updated with this information.

Yes for the good news. Yes.

Receiving treatment? So that means he did try to commit suicide. I hope his parents take this very seriously and do whatever it takes to get some sense into him and to prevent this from happening again.

I remember TreeB saying he's waiting to turn 18 so he can buy a gun to kill himself with. I guess we should be glad he was impatient and tried to kill himself with a method that isn't as effective as blowing your brains out with a firearm. But at the same time sad because he tried to commit suicide in the first place.

Thank you ^^
Why is he receiving treatment though?

Great to hear, thanks for investigating and reporting :)

Thanks so much for this update. I'm concerned for him and he's such a great person

That's reassuring to hear. Hope he's okay and gets better from the treatment!

Thank you for the update. Tree is such a nice guy, nothing but kind words about him. I hope he gets the treatment he needs.

Thank you, aforce, for the update!
Thank you, MagnificentOne, for the thread!
And thank you, SG community, for being awesome!

@TreeB, when you come back and read this -- check out how cool it is that we all care for you man! :)
(Yeah, it's kind of embarrassing too, but it's way better than the alternative!)
Really glad to hear you're still around -- got nothing but good impressions of you here. I always kind of hated Axe deodorant just because their product design department once ripped off the original Halo logo for one of their stick names... I finally gave up my vendetta against them some years later after it was clear that they weren't going anywhere and I was getting frustrated with the selection of other options. That said, I keep looking for a good alternative every damn time I'm at the store. (And for anyone confused about why I'm writing this in this topic, I perused some of Mr. B's linked blog, and that bit struck an oddly familiar chord.)

Thanks for your efforts, i thought he was some kind of bussy with the new job (im not on the group, so didnt saw that post)

TY for the info.

@TreeB
Best wishes, Trey. We all hope you can work through it.

View attached image.

Thanks for letting us now. That's a relief..

Holy crap, the SG community is damn impressive. I'm so glad to read this update, thanks for all your efforts.

Thanks for your effort, we all wish the best to Tree.

Well, what you did was awesome. Glad TreeB is alright - good luck, bud! :)

Thanks for the researching and the update aforce! Great job! Reading the OP and linked text made me quite concerned!

Nice job. Hopefully he'll be able to recover soon
