This makes more sense to his walking pattern that night especially since that video shows him walking into dead ends but also makes him more vulnerable.
 
In a desperate attempt to bring awareness to the case family and friends have launched their own website and fundraiser as well as sharing pictures of Jack on social media. Jack's mum Catherine O'Sullivan, originally from Neath, said: "It's so painful. Every day for me gets worse it gets harder and harder. There are lots of missing people in the press and you just can't believe you would be in a situation where nobody knows anything. We are tortured." :(

Describing what little is known of Jack's disappearance Catherine said she believes her son was trying to make his way back to the family home in Flax Bourton following a night out in the Hotwells area of Bristol. She said: "On March 1 he went to a pub first and met some friends and then they went to a party at a house on Hotwell Road. They were people he recently met on his law conversion course in Bristol.

"We know he went to the party and left about 2.50am. Prior to this he messaged me to say where he was and how he was going to get home, that he was fine, and was going to get an Uber or taxi. We have seen CCTV footage of him leaving the party and then he set off on foot."

 
Falling and hitting his head is worrying as it makes it more possible he was unsteady on his feet, and obviously being near the water. It’s never been said if he was drunk/had taken anything either as far as I know.

I’d love them to find him in a homeless shelter but sadly I can’t see any positive outcome here for Jack.

Seeing this video also brings home the possibility of being hit by a vehicle especially the time of year, icy roads, rain/sleet and obstructions by the road side. We don’t know whether Jack had been drinking so he may have stumbled or slipped.

Please see the statement below in relation to the police presence at Clifton Suspension Bridge today.


Our enquiries are at an early stage and we would please ask people avoid speculation at this time.
Started thread..
 
Bristol is a tough place, I worked at the university there for a year in the 1980s and had a great time but twice I was punched to the ground, wrong place wrong time. It had never happened anywhere else. Also when I first moved to the area, I was walked around the area and introduced to people so I would be less likely to get rolled at night.
The person police are searching for was caught on CCTV is a black man with a beard and a gold earring who was acting weirdly at around midnight, when police attended they found two suitcases with human remains. The man walked off towards Clifton Woods. Police do not believe it is the missing teenager Jack.
 
Falling and hitting his head is worrying
Yes, the hitting his head is very worrying and could explain his seemingly indecisive movements that night. There have been cases before, where after someone has hit their head and ended up in water.

I'm still confused by the phone though and the new information relating to a spike in internet usage later on that morning. It was a cold night and its not likely he would have wanted to hang around outside for hours and yet he apparently did not return to the party and cctv seems to have been explored.

He had an iPhone 11, which apparently is water resistant. Is there any possibility it stayed on whilst showing an inaccurate location on Granby hill whilst he was however nearby, but in the water.
 
Snipped for focus:

They are water resistant, not waterproof. They can withstand a certain amount of water like heavy rain, splashing or spilling something on them- but they wouldn’t last very long as soon as water gets in the charging port and starts short circuiting the electronics.

iPhone 11 has an IP68 rating which means it should survive submerging in 2 metres of water for up to 30 mins.

This case is one that always gets to me - his family just seem like very normal lovely people.

I find the bit in an article above Mother of Jack O’Sullivan reveals last message she received from missing son which states ‘jacks mum messaged to check he was okay as he was at party with people he only recently knew ’ worrying, often with a new group of friends you can be peer pressured into things in order to fit in - IE too much alcohol or drugs.

I still think the likely outcome is that he ended up in the water that night - either accidentally or intentionally.

My heart breaks for the family I just hope they get answers soon.
