It rings, but no answer. Voicemail is full. Text messages are not "bounced" but no reply. --- I think we'll just have to be content with simply knowing what we know (even though many questions remain unanswered.)

I was horrified at the thought that he died alone and outdoors. But another poster reminded me that unhoused folks have a community of their own and they're a community of their own and they do their best to look after each other. --- I hope that's the case.

I appreciate your kind and supportive words and suggestions.
