Did they say he went to Miller's Alehouse? I used to live in Jacksonville and Miller's Alehouse was very good and a popular place to go! Hope it's not another case of drinking too much and water nearby. Geez!!

I wonder if he has location sharing with anyone in his family. Did he meet up with another attendee for dinner or drinks. I'm sure we will hear that this is out of character for him not to be in contact with anyone. I wonder if there are any search efforts underway.

"In his life outside of Averett, his passions include spending time with his family and his two fur-children, Lily and Cricket, traveling, bingeing true crime series and cycling when he has the time," his biography at the university states.

'Beloved' Virginia professor found dead at gay men's sauna after vanishing from conference

Averett University psychology professor David Hanbury, 37, was found deceased Saturday at the popular gay men's sauna Club Orlando.

www.advocate.com

Hanbury was found deceased Saturday at Club Orlando, a famous men's sauna, though law enforcement did not disclose where in the facility. The cause of death has also not been verified, but Orlando police told USA Today that the circumstances "did not appear suspicious."

 

[Occam's Zebra]

He was only 37 years old, found dead at a sauna, and it's not suspicious?

 

[bombardier]

thats so strange! if he was found dead in the sauna itself, one guess would be that the heat exacerbated an underlying heart disease (unusual at 37 but not unheard of), 911 was called, and he was declared dead as a john doe (i assume naked, no ID?) who was later identified. but the timings a little off; last seen friday, reported missing friday (? why so soon?), but found saturday.
club orlando is pretty big though, multiple saunas, gyms, and private rooms. judging from the google reviews, it's definitely a place for some X-rated activites in a fun environment. I am guessing he might had booked a room there and was found deceased there on saturday? in that case, my COD guesses would be adverse effects from drugs or medical event. All MOO, totally respect familys decision to not share anymore

unrelated, but i tried to open that club orlando link, and my workplace wifi blocked it

We won't know everything until the toxicology screen comes back, and that can take quite a while.
