My best friend has been missing in Sri Lanka since January 16th.

I don’t know if this is the right place to post this

I’m posting this on a throwaway account I made awhile ago cause I don’t want this tied to my other account.

I’m not sure how much information I want to get into for his sake and mine, but my best friend is a Canadian tourist visiting family in Sri Lanka during the Christmas and New Years holidays. The trip was only meant to last a month.

He ended up going missing on January 16th in the afternoon and his last whereabouts was at the local beach. The police believe he went swimming and drowned but I’m skeptical. He knew he couldn’t swim, he wouldn’t be stupid enough to go to a dangerous beach all alone with no swimming knowledge.

The lack of closure on weather he’s alive or not eats away at me and I need to know if anyones heard anything about a 19 year old Canadian tourist getting found in Sri Lanka dead or alive

I don’t want to share too much for his families and my safety but if details are important, I’ll share them to an extent

Someone please help, and thank you
