Missing New Orleans chef turns up alive after death report

[ReturnOfJudah]

NEW ORLEANS (WVUE) - A New Orleans chef reported missing -- and then dead -- turned up alive Monday (June 12 ) in the most bizarre twist possible.

Demietriek Scott, 47 was reported missing on June 10. Police say the person who made the report had not had any contact in person or via cell phone with Scott in two weeks. Family members said earlier Monday that the Orleans Parish Coroner’s office had given them a preliminary notification that a dead body found dumped in the Ninth Ward earlier Monday morning was believed to be Scott.

But shortly before 4 p.m., as reporters gathered near the family’s house to report on Scott’s death, the missing chef suddenly walked up, very much alive.

“I’ve been around,” Scott said. “I’ve been around. I essentially just needed some time for myself. ... Life caves in on you sometimes, and that’s just what happened.

“I appreciate (the concern). I didn’t know that was a thing. ... I just needed to get away from everything and just stay in a little while.”

If this was my brother, cousin, close friend etc immediately after I hug him, tell him I love him and t I’m glad he’s alive we’re going to have to throw handsi understand mental health struggles can sometimes be unbearable, but this was so fukked up for him to do to his people. He could have shot just 1 person a short text just saying I’m shutting off my phone for a while to clear my head, I’ll contact everyone when I’m ready but I’m ok. He didn’t even have to respond after he texted,this was just a shytty thing to do

Dude needed a break from family and they begging asses

Hopefully he figured everything out and ready to make a positive move away from negativity

That's wild. All on my news feeds they were saying he was found dead. So everybody was reporting it without any proof. Smh

 

[Dirty Mcdrawz]

That was well done.

I dunno it seemed kind of…half baked.

Tryna cash your own life insurance policy with you as the insured is nuts

I dunno it seemed kind of…half baked.

But then again it was rather unique......

Some might say.......medium rare
