Gay Man Missing In Quebec!

Any Quebecer Dataloungers know him or have theories?

He's gorgeous! I would love to find him.

and he was single

What’s the Plateau district like? Where does that bridge go? Why would anyone walk in sub-zero temp?

Could he have been despondent, and jumped?

What's a tuque?

tuque is a Canadian term for a hat seen below

[quote]They say Lambert walked across the Champlain Bridge to Ottawa the night he disappeared and was last seen in the area of Wellington West and Hintonburg a day later.

This actually makes no sense. Was he last seen the night he disappeared, or was he last seen a day later?

R7 the reddit page makes it a little clearer. He left the party and didn’t go home that night, but some people think they saw him in another area the next day. No way to confirm if it was him though.

Was a smiley face painted nearby?

Are patriotic Toques acceptable?

But patriotic M.A.G.A. hats despicable?

Let puffy Will Arnett teach you Canadian slang.

[quote]Why would anyone walk in sub-zero temp?

Because, unlike bears, we can't hibernate through the winter.

Most likely he was drunk when he left the party and fell off the bridge.

Possibly he was mugged on the bridge and fell (or was pushed) during the scuffle. But at 6'2" I doubt anyone tried to mess with him unless he was out numbered or they had a gun.

But Datalounge will insist it was a gay rape gone wrong, long after the simplest explanation is proven twice over.

Looks a bit like The Cockgobbler, no?

If he crossed the Champlain Bridge into Ottawa then he's missing in Ontario, but missing from Quebec? Or that he's a Quebec gay man who went missing? Maybe he passed out and froze to death. I'm not kidding, Ottawa can be colder than Mars on some winter days.

Champlain Bridge in the summer, links residential areas of Gatineau and Ottawa. The Plateau district in Gatineau is mostly recent-ish suburbia, while Hintonburg is a much older but gentrifying/hipster area of Ottawa.

Calling it now. He choked on smegma .

Handsome. I'm sure the Canuck detectives are doing their best. If he went missing here in the U.S., they wouldn't give a flaming fuck unless he came from old Yankee blue-blood wealth. Just like they don't give a shite when a black or Mexican person disappears. God bless him.

Good looking guy. I hope he turns up ok.

Maybe he met a rich Prince Charming who flew (or carried?) him to Paris.

It could happen.

I know that area! There is a gay cruising area called Bate Island directly under the bridge. Kinda cold for that though.

R9 Is the smiley face killer that is rumored to stalking and killing solitary homos around that area?

You people only care because he was good looking, if he were ugly you wouldn't be here

Quebec is notoriously homophobic.

R18, do Canadian cops care about the gays? For some reason, some serial killer of gays in Toronto comes to mind

There is v little violent crime in Ottawa.

Exactly, R26. It's too cold for it.

Temp that Saturday night was -17C or about 2F.

[quote]He's gorgeous! I would love to find him.

Boy, I can only imagine you as a detective investigating a murder: "Let me see the victim's face... Ew, ugly. Don't waste my time."

Tinymeat! Don't waste my time!

No one knew him personally? Maybe Francophones are discussing his case somewhere I can't access because I don't speak French.

Pity that breeders and their crimes have a million pages dedicated to them, but a gay man's fate is of no interest.

[quote]No one knew him personally?

Clearly a DLer

He's probably on a bender with our dear friend, Tina.

Champlain Bridge doesn’t look like a pedestrian bridge r16. It looks like autos only. But maybe he walked over a different part of the bridge.

Also, 9 pm is kind of early to leave a party. Did he leave ... alone ??

R31 there have been at least 3 posts on Reddit, usually the same description/info followed by thoughts and prayers. The Facebook page has a bit more info (like his phone was apparently last “pinged” on the bridge). Hopefully the 3 police departments (Gatineau, Ottawa, and the RCMP since that bridge is federal/NCC property) involved manage to coordinate their efforts and tips/clues.

another picture

R34 actualy there is a concrete sidewalk but on one side only, and cycling lanes in both directions. Pedestrian paths at either end are probably challenging in winter, as the bridge ends in a scenic parkway context.

It's not me, bitches, I'm behind bars.

[quote]R29 Boy, I can only imagine you as a detective investigating a murder: "Let me see the victim's face... Ew, ugly. Don't waste my time."

This made me laugh so hard.

I can imagine questioning the family.

DL DETECTIVE: His age? Weight? WHAT?? [italic] (Closes notebook)

Intoxicated man + icy bridge = falling into river. The body will appear in the spring thaw.

[quote]What's a tuque?

This. The picture above with Canada written on it is something a recently landed immigrant would wear before they open their "AL'S 100% CANADIAN FAMILY FRIED CHICKEN AND KEBABERIE WITH PICTURE OF MAPLE LEAF" restaurant.

And most people spell it this way: "Toque".

Tuque would be the French spelling actually...

Yeah and most Canadians speak English. So most people spell it this way: "Toque".

It's a wool cap. Call it a wool cap.

Just explaining it’s not a random typo, based on where he lived.

I like "tuque" more than "beanie," which is what people call that kind of hat in America. A beanie to me is a yarmulke with a brim, not a woolen pull-on.

It's Toque.

I just read a detective novel that took place in Montreal in January. The author must have used the word "tuque" hundreds of times.

He really does look cockgobbleresque.

New video with some pictures

No news?

I hate these stories about missing gay men were we have to find out they committed suicide or were offed by trade. The story about the CDC officer in Atlanta last year was so sad.

Missing person report still up on Gatineau PD, sadly.

Suicide?

I thought “tuque” was a typo and the author meant to write “toque”. Well, ya learn something new every day.

I've known him for years,although not terribly well. Senior government type, but personally kind of a mess. If he was seen in HIntonburg the next day, he might have spent the night at Ottawa's one remaining bathhouse. From there, I don't know.

He is not hot.

R41 LOL at that restaurant name.

Some young tuffs picked him up and tossed him over the bridge for kicks.

I wouldn't walk across a long bridge like that in February. Seems odd.

R60 that’s exactly what happened about 30 years ago, just a few miles from there, prompted the creation of the country’s first hate crimes unit.

Still missing...

Was he ever found???

R63 he has lovely brown eyes

And who killed the billionaire couple in Ontario?

Still missing as of this FB post March 31, and the missing persons notice is still up on the Gatineau Police dept.’s website.

Sad ending on this one.

[quote]According to Gatineau police, an area resident reported finding a body near a bike path in the Aylmer area around 7:45 p.m. on Wednesday. When police arrived, they found the body and erected a security perimeter in order to forensic specialists to begin an investigation.

[quote]Police say no further details about Lambert’s death will be disclosed out of respect for his family.

Handsome daddy. RIP.

[quote]Although we don’t have many details, foul play is not suspected...

Suicide?

Pictures of the bike path and surrounding woods make it look like a possible cruising area.

His friends say "foul play is not suspected”.

But what other play could have caused this handsome man's death?

Sad ending, but it looks like he died doing what he loved...cruising.

Very sad.

But Pee Brain lives.

RIP.

But what exactly did he die of?

R75 Something fatal.

OMG.
