There were several guys I have contacted over the years that for one reason or other I never met who then died. One was Cody Foster. He was supposed to be meeting me. At some point communication ceased. I talked to him afterwards, he said he was picked up by the police for something.
The only one I think that I actually met who later died was Alexander Gustavo. It was a one time meeting for around an hour. As I recall, he was either going to drive to my hotel or motorcycle. But he ended up taking a taxi, and I ended up driving him back home. So we spent a bit more time together than the usual one hour visit.
