Concern is high for the welfare of Alex who has been missing 10 days now.

Missing man, Exeter - Have you seen Alex?

Police are growing increasingly concerned for the welfare of 29-year-old Alex Donaghy, who has been reported missing from the Exeter area.

Alex was last believed to be in the Exeter area at around 2pm on Thursday 11 November.

He is described as around 6ft, slim build, hair shaven on the sides with longer dark brown hair on top. Glasses, moustache and stubble.

Alex was wearing black trousers, black polo top, black smart style suit jacket, black doc martins shoes, silver chunky chain style necklace and believe to be carrying a black lightweight backpack containing a large black metal bottle and a door key.

It is believed Alex last known whereabouts was in the Longdown area of Exeter.

If you have seen Alex, or know of his whereabouts, please call police immediately on 999, quoting log number 0649 of 11/11/21.

Was this poor man ever located and do we know why he is listed as high risk.

The original link no longer works for me and I've scoured the Twitter/Facebook posts on the Devon & Cornwall Police pages and can't seem to find any post regarding this anymore

Thanks for highlighting this to me. I was able to get confirmation from someone that knew Alex that he is still missing. Why all the police appeals down? i would say the family may have requested this as unfortunately there is not a lot of hope Alex is still alive.

As you might be aware, Alex Donaghy has been missing since November 2021 and has not been seen or heard of since. We are setting up this fundraiser for an event in memory of Alex in July, and a donation towards East London Out Project (ELOP), an LGBTQIA+ mental health charity.

We’ve always admired Alex’s radical presence, both in life and art. Alex’s deep-rooted care for the human condition steered him through all aspects of his life. This manifested in a curiosity towards learning about and supporting people.

Whilst committed to serious matters, Alex constantly charmed us with his warmth and playfulness. He had a whole breadth of interests, which he skilfully weaved together: gardening and extreme poetry; cycling and transgressive cinema, cooking and grappling body performance. It was a pleasure to venture into them with him.

Al/ice/ex’ works were grounded in social and political values and reflected topics such as mental health, early trauma, migration, anti-institutionalism & commodification. These topics then extended into an ongoing research into vulnerability and social problems in relation to public and private space. Al/ice/ex formed a resistance to social control and sought to create alternate ways of thinking which unsettle our normal rhythms of thought.


MEMORIAL EVENT DETAILS

The memorial is going to be held on the 16th of July 2022, from 18:00 at Apiary Studios in London (458 Hackney Road, E2 9EG).

The attendance is by RSVP through the form available here: link

In the last message sent by Alex, he asked us to organise a memorial filled ‘with extreme art and extreme music’. The event we’re organising will consist of two rooms with visual art, sound installations, music, and art performances. He mentioned that he would like for people to enjoy themselves and for all of his friends to connect.

We believe it is very important to realise this event according to Alex’s wishes, and have a chance and space to all meet to celebrate and remember Alex, his uniqueness and beautiful mind. We are keen to have the voices of the people who have known and shared memories with Alex to be present in the space.
