Protection
Just a note here to clarify why I've placed the article under temporary protection. While I admit that the length of time that has now passed since his disappearance implies that he probably has died, Wikipedia cannot state that as a fact until such time as it's confirmed in a reliable source. But far, far too many anonymous IPs have been trying to jump the gun this week. If and when he's found, the article will be updated accordingly — but until he is found, whether living or dead, it's not Wikipedia's place to preemptively assume that he's deceased.

 * This was not actionable until a reliable source was provided. One now has been, and the article has been updated accordingly. Bearcat (talk) 02:28, 4 February 2017 (UTC)

Under the biography tab, at the end, it should be added that his body was recovered and that he has passed away. End should read "On February 3rd 2017, his body was recovered about 300 feet from where he was last seen." This change should be made because the search has ended, and his body has been recovered.

In the infobox for person, there should now be a section for death, which should read " Tyler19912016 (talk) 00:11, 4 February 2017 (UTC)
 * This was not actionable until a reliable source was provided. One now has been, and the article has been updated accordingly. In addition, only one edit request was necessary, not eleventy thousand squillion of them. Bearcat (talk) 02:29, 4 February 2017 (UTC)

 * No action was requested here. Jesus H. Murphy, people, this did not require an immediate succession of eleventy thousand squillion successive edit requests — it required one edit request with a reliable source (Cooly3110 above was the only person to actually provide one, and thus the only request that could actually be answered affirmatively) and then the holding of everybody else's damn jumpy horses. It's more important for Wikipedia to get it right than it is for us to get it quick, so waiting for somebody to actually provide a source is not a big enough crisis to justify swarming the talk page like this.

Enough to state COD was hypoxia, though that cause unknown?
