- Notes
Two months after he disappeared, on the afternoon of December 19, people walking along the Summer Grove Parkway were passing the bridge over White Oak Creek when they made a heartbreaking discovery. They called 911 and police arrived soon after. A few days later the tragic news was made public โ Blake had been found face down in the creek, deceased and unclothed except for his white undershirt, boxers, and certain jewelry that was later used to help identify him (we assume this was his piercings, but it is not explicitly stated).

The cause of death was homicide via a gunshot wound to the back of the head.
