Authorities are searching for a Paralympic athlete who mysteriously vanished.
Sam Ruddock, who competed for Great Britain’s team in cycling, shotput and sprinting events in the 2012 and 2016 Paralympic Games, was reported missing by his family after he abruptly stopped all contact April 16.
Ruddock, who lives with cerebral palsy, had traveled to Las Vegas from Warwickshire, England to attend a Wrestlemania event April 13, his friend Lucy Hatton told the BBC April 27, before she and his family stopped hearing from him just days later.
Hatton—who described her friend as a “fantastic human being,” and confirmed he had stayed with her right before his trip abroad—told the outlet that Ruddock is typically very communicative and active on social media, so his sudden silence “started to raise flags,” and noted that his disappearance is “really, really out of character.”
However, Hatton noted that Ruddock had not “been in quite the right head space” lately.
She also told Sky News April 27 that she had received confirmation her friend had landed safely in Nevada.
