The co-founder of credential-based crypto project ONFO coin was found dead of an apparent gunshot wound about a week after his disappearance, although police do not currently suspect foul play.

Dr. John Forsyth, crypto advocate and emergency physician, was reported missing by relatives after failing to show up for his shift at Mercy Hospital in Cassville, Missouri on May 21. His family issued an appeal about his whereabouts on social media soon after.

Speaking to The Daily Beast at the time, his younger brother, Richard Forsyth, said John Forsyth wouldn't miss a shift, so it was "an immediate red flag".

Authorities found Forsyth's sedan parked less than a mile from the hospital on May 28.

Forsyth's wallet, passport, laptop and work briefcase were found inside the unlocked vehicle. His brother added, "His cell phones were inside which is also very unusual as he still has his cell phone."

"It doesn't look like a person who left with a plan," Richard Forsyth told The Associated Press on May 30.

However, the body of John Forsyth was found on May 30, about an hour south of where he was last seen, apparently suffering from a gunshot wound. Local police say foul play does not appear to be a factor.
