Teen found after 9 weeks in the bush

Sounds like the only thing he did right was starting off overweight! Lost half his body weight.
 
I wonder how exactly he got stuck there. Doesn't say if he was lost, if he got hurt and couldn't get out, or what. Just says that he was very close to his home.
 
It would be interesting to hear a few more details about this one. Was he found because he stayed put? Couldn't wander anymore??
 
The guy had "a medical condition" BEFORE he wandered off....

The bizarre thing...only 2km from his front door...
 
According to News.com.Au he has "Mental Health issues, and wanted to 'run away from his life'". No matter the motivation, if it turns out that he truly spent the time exposed to the elements (including a record breaking heatwave) it will be a hell of a survival story.
Of course, I'm sure I'm not the only one who is reminded of the recent story out of Germany, young guy claimed he spent 5 years alone in the woods. Turned out to be a hoax.
Have to wait and see.
 
Why wasn't his family sounding the alarm that he was gone for so long?
