An east Belfast man who went missing in Paris, France, has been found alive in the city.
Robert Kincaid, a 38-year-old from Tullycarnet, had been working on the oil rigs in west Africa and was due to get his connecting flight from Paris to Dublin over two weeks ago, but never boarded his flight.
He last spoke to a friend on a video call from Charles de Gaulle airport bar.
That is the last anyone heard from him.
Earlier this week his brother Louis and a friend flew to Paris to help search for him.
His family have confirmed he has been found and is receiving medical treatment.
Earlier this week his dad Robert, known as Rab, said his family were worried sick, after an unknown man and woman answered his phone when they tried to contact him:
"Robert travels all over the world on the oil rigs but the thing is he always keeps in touch with his mother, me and especially his friends.
"We are all distraught, we're out of our minds.
"His mate rang him at ten to eight that night and was talking to him and then after that no one has ever had contact with Robert.
"We tried to ring him again at half ten and some French guy answered the phone and then after that someone tried to ring him again and there was a lady answered the phone speaking French and there's been nothing since."
Today Rab confirmed to us he was discovered yesterday and rushed to hospital where he is currently receiving treatment.
