It looks like adventurer, etc., Steve Fossett is dead. He has been missing since he left in his airplane several months ago. Recently they have found items and other identifications which may suggest that he may have died when his plane crashed, etc.
Atleast this will give the family some possible closure and the knowledge of knowing what actually happened.
