Has it been stated where he was walking home "from"? Was the disorientation from being hypothermic after already being out too long for the conditions or had he been out with friends for a few drinks? The phots of the varous areas being searched show really brutal conditions. The temps were also pretty cold. https://www.accuweather.com/en/us/marquette/49855/february-weather/333678

I'm worried as well. In some of the pics he looks to have snow all over his clothes, possible fall, climbing? Now there is a hole in the ice? Praying for Trenton and his family.

My heart goes out to his family. I hope they are surrounded by love and support.
