He was reported missing on Tuesday by his wife when he did not return from his overnight security job. When he was found on Saturday it was found that he had a severe leg fracture and was also described as 'weak and dehydrated'. As a diabetic, Vachon was dependant on insulin and had to inject himself whilst falling in and out of consciousness.
