Dr. John Forsyth, co-founder of the ONFO coin referral-based crypto project and emergency room physician, was found dead from a gunshot wound a week after going missing. He had not shown up for work at Mercy Hospital in Cassville, Missouri, and his relatives reported his disappearance. His brother, Richard Forsyth, noted John's missing shift as alarming.
His car was found near the hospital, with his personal belongings, including his cell phones, intact inside. Richard Forsyth commented to the Associated Press that it didn't seem like his brother had planned to disappear.
John Forsyth's body was discovered south of his last known location on May 30. Despite the suspicious circumstances, police currently do not suspect foul play.
