The body of Dr. John Forsyth, a Missouri ER doctor who went missing last week, has been found in northwest Arkansas, his family told Nexstar’s KOLR Tuesday night.
The Benton County Sheriff’s Department said an investigation is ongoing, but the body is believed to be that of Forsyth’s pending an autopsy and final identification.
Forsyth vanished over a week ago. He was last seen at 7 a.m. on Sunday, May 21, before failing to show up for work at Mercy Hospital in Cassville, Missouri. His vehicle was later located at the Cassville Aquatic Center.
Detectives said several agencies spent hours searching the area of the Cassville Aquatic Park using K-9s and a thermal-imaging drone, but investigators were unable to find any evidence at that time.
“I don’t know why my brother is missing. I don’t know why he would leave behind his wallet, his passport, his checkbook, his keys, and an unlocked car,” his brother Richard Forsyth had previously told KOLR.
Speaking with the Associated Press earlier on Tuesday, Richard Forsyth said the last person his brother texted with was a woman to whom his brother had recently gotten engaged. The last time Richard Forsyth saw him was a few days before he went missing.
