This is very sad. He went missing in 2022, not 2023.
It's been 14 months of searching.

Yes, sorry, forgot to add the year.

Also brought to mind the actor Julian Sands, who has been missing in the mountains in California since the middle of January this year.

Lovely lady, what a shame. She couldn't have been very old, around 70?

Sad news but he had a good innings. He was a a big contributor in the early days of microprocessors.
I think I've used a large range of Intel processors from the 8080A and up in many and various hardware, not just PC's, in day to day use over the decades.

RIP Gordon

That’s really sad news. I saw him in a pantomime in 2012 - very funny indeed. RIP.

Sad news on Paul O'Grady. Loved Lilly savage and and a decent genuine bloke as Paul himself.
