Waaaaait….so is he …still alive or dead?
If someone is missing long enough, their family might choose to have them legally declared deceased, without a body having been located. Or I suppose may believe it to be true but not pursue a declaration formally.
If so, family obituaries could state the missing person preceeded their relatives in death. It doesn't mean they aren't a John Doe.
I hope I am making sense, and it answers your question?
