What happened to his friends?

Exactly why would friends let a severely intoxicated friend walk home alone after being thrown to the ground - if he was so hammered why did the bar serve him & not call him a cab

Exactly why would friends let a severely intoxicated friend walk home alone after being thrown to the ground - if he was so hammered why did the bar serve him & not call him a cab

One approach that appears to be working in a Mississippi River town:

Local leaders have tried passing new ordinances, but in a community where Wisconsin's love affair with booze is on full display, the memory of each drowning fades with the next round of shots, $1 beers and all-you-can-drink specials.

Finally, college students took it upon themselves to save their classmates. The effort dubbed Operation: River Watch has emerged as the city's most effective safety net.

They must have found video footage of him falling in the water then is my impression from her post. How awful it would be to have to leave Illinois and come back without knowing.

This just broke my heart, from link.

“I hope there will be more news today in regards to Séamus… I’m holding on by a thread because I’m it. I’m his ride or die, I’m his biggest advocate, I’m his detective, I’m his search and rescue team. IM SÉAMUS’s MOM and if I didn’t do it , and I just crumbled to the floor then who else does he have to do it for him?” Rodier Gray said.''

Poor guy is most likely in the water.

Did they search the Waukegan River? It's very close to the bar, lots of bridges. Could be under one of them.

Missing Sailor Seamus Gray Was In Apparent 'Tragic Accident,' Mom Says

As the search for the missing 21-year-old continues, Kerry Gray "will not sleep until I have answers as to where my son is."

patch.com

"I cannot sleep, and will not sleep until I have answers as to where my son is, and what happened to him," Gray said. "Seamus was assaulted outside of the establishment and was pickpocketed. He had one drink at that bar later that night and one earlier in the night."

"My son was an exceptional young man willing to die serving and protecting his country," she said. "He should have been able to safely walk down a street no matter how Preppy he looked."
Seamus Gray was described as being 6 feet, 3 inches tall and about 170 pounds with brown hair and blue eyes.
He has tattoos on his rib cage and arm, and at the time he went missing, he was wearing a red hooded sweatshirt and red pants.''

''The missing sailor's mother said how her son was dressed "should have no bearing on why someone would want to attack him." Gray said she hoped people would refrain from making vicious comments about him on social media.

"My son did nothing wrong. His name is not to be made fun of. His outfit choice isn’t to be made fun of," she said.''

Days After Waukegan Police End Search For Missing US Navy Sailor, NCIS Investigates Possible Lead Near Harbor

Five days after the Waukegan Police Department announced it was ending its “exhaustive” search for Séamus Gray, a missing 21-year-old United States Navy servicemember, officials with the Naval Criminal Investigative Service (NCIS) released an update regarding a potential lead.

www.nbcchicago.com

"On March 27, 2023, members of the Naval Criminal Investigative Service (NCIS), along with search and rescue canines, conducted a search for Séamus Gray in the Waukegan Harbor," an emailed update read, adding that three search and rescue canines showed "interest in an area by the Government Pier."

"Waukegan Fire Department and Gurnee Fire Department divers searched a large area around the Government Pier in the harbor but did not locate Séamus," the update continued. "Additionally, a surface swimmer searched an area around the Waukegan Yacht Club but was unable to locate Séamus."
''
Hernandez added that Grey got into at least two altercations outside the bar.

"It's just a sad situation for us," Hernandez said. "We just want him to be found ... we just want to cooperate in any way we can. We're doing everything we can to cooperate with the police investigation with the family."

During last week's update, Mullen said detectives spoke to some individuals who were with Gray that night. However, they reported they did not see him or hear from him after he left the bar.''
