    This story is bizarrely similar to what happened to my brother. He died in Hawaii this year while homeless. He was a musician and an artist and a vegan and had gone through a lot of problems too, we miss him so damn much. Prayers for Alex’s safe return. We also grew up in Maine.

    Alex Gumm has similarities to Christopher McCandless in that they were searching for an esoteric meaning for life and their 'dream' eventually led to their deaths (possibly for Gumm). Very sad. He sounds like he was talented and creative. I hope his family finds the peace they deserve.

      Did he have medical evaluation. I wonder. His traveling to India first and then wanting to travel Kaui. Lots of youngsters are adults but definitely not mature to face unknown territories alone. We see often in western cultures. So much loss of young lives with the whole world in front of them. Lots of them educated too. In some cultures they don't know where their next plate of food is and no roof above their head. Let alone travel to these strange places looking for only God knows what.

    Upon visiting Hawaii a few years back my thoughts were that it was a great and beautiful place to visit but I wouldn't want to live there . Too remote for me . A guide on the Big Island mentioned that the islands had many visiting people disappear every year and it was thought that at least some may have fallen into volcanic vents that are made difficult to see by surrounding vegetation . I don't know how plentiful these vents are on Kauai but I can attest to the rain , mud and bad footing . It must be terrible for his family to be left wondering what has happened .

    The most reliable sources of food in the wilderness are fishing and trapping and those are off the menu.

    He didn't join a cult because there's no way a cult wouldn't have emptied his bank account. Twenty years ago I would have said that he was unlikely to have been murdered as a homeless person on Kauai. Back then living on the beach on Kauai was pretty normal. But I've heard that homelessness has become a lot worse in Hawaii.
    But it's very likely that, if he is dead, he was not murdered. Nor would he have had to follow through on a self sufficiency fantasy to get into trouble. Kauai is actually pretty dangerous. The Nā Pali coast is made of very old volcanic rock, and the interior wilderness is not a place for amateurs. And the beaches can be dangerous. Some of them are swimmable and some really aren't. Not all the risks are obvious. Swimming the day after a heavy rain might get you attacked by a shark just because the water is murky.
    My idea is that he felt his personality changing and instinctively fled from everyone he knew. He may have eventually lost his original sense of who he is. In some of his photos, he's smiling but his eyes look scared. The only adult photos where he seems at peace are the ones where he's playing music.
    Wishing him peace and happiness.

    How sad for the family not to have answers or closure. I would rate the theories in this order: 4. 2. 1. 3. If he died from foul play he no doubt would have been discovered. Theory 2. makes some sense since he talked about joining a monastery. It's possible that monks are covering for him. I feel it's also possible he is hanging out with the homeless or same-like minded type people. He might be deliberately not spending money from the bank account because he wants people to think he's dead.

    Unfortunately it sounds like he develops schizophrenia and he would have been at the right age for the onset of symptoms. Late teens early 20s. My brother also developed this in his late teens. Early 20th money went to college. It was more pronounced. He traveled the world as it progressively worsened. How sad that he disappeared and his family didn't have time to get him medicated or help him. My brother died of cancer at 32 so we lost him twice. Wants to the mental illness and then again to cancer.

      He has shared some personal stories when he reached certain YT milestones. Two were significant to me - the first was a very serious car accident when he was a young man and the interactions with a Doctor who told him what his life would be like. He does live with residual physical effects and limitations. Note: You probably know he knows plenty about guns and cars. The other was a description of a typical day in producing videos, from research to uploading, how much time etc. Also his motivations in producing a high volume of work, making money while he can while his work is popular. He seems to have found just the right formula which has evolved - if you've seen his earlier educational videos.

And to preemt an argument that homeless people come from other states or are sent by other states to ease there own problem could not be corroborated by data. Existing data shows people who were born here or long term residents. Most homelessness is hidden (sleeping in cars, on someones couch etc). The homeless you encounter prominently are often there because of a lacking infrastructure to care for mentally ill people or drugs or both.

    Kauai is an easy place to disappear off the face of the earth from. The State of Hawaii Department of Land and Natural Resources states that Kauai has a population of over 300,000 wild pigs, that are very able to dispatch anyone suffering a disability via consumption or illness. Add to that fact that there is no 'continental-shelf' that may moderate the oceanic action as it intersects the shore. Its very possible to be swept off the beach, or from near shore waters by a 'rip-current' that will not, in most areas ever return you to the shore.
    Take heart in the 'near death' experience stories that are prolific among humans. There may actually be an existence in a different dimension for each of us after our mortal coil relaxes.
