Ronan Lawlor, es un turista Irlandes viajando entre Argentina y Chile.
Ronan no ha mantenido contacto con su familia y amigos desde el medio de
Noviembre. Esto no es usual porque el siempre se mantiene en contacto.

Su ultimo movimiento fue detectado cuando el cruzaba el borde de Monte
Aymond en Noviembre 22 del 2007 donde el trataba de cruzar desde
Argentina a Chile. Este lugar es muy cerca al punto sur de sur America.
La geografia dicta que el tiene que cruzar el border para llegar a
Ushuaia (sur de Argentina). El tenia un pasaje de avion para Buenos
Aires en Noviembre 25 del 2007. Parece que nunca cruzo el border para
regresar a Argentina desde Chile y nunca tomo ningun avion para
regresar.

Tamano: 1 metro 78 cm.
Ojos: Verdes/ azules
Delgado
Nacionalidad: Irlandes
Ocupacion: Ingeniero Quimico
Edad: 28 anos
El es muy sociable y divertido. Lo estranamos mucho.

Su ultimos pasos fue viajando por El Calafate y se quedo tres noches en
el Parque Nacional Torres de Paine. Aqui esta su fotos:

Mail written on 7th Dec 07.

Ronan Lawlor, who has been travelling through Argentina and Chile, has been out of contact with his family and friends since the middle of last month. This is extremely unusual for him. His last know movements detected were at the Monte Aymond border crossing on 22 nd Nov where he crossed from Argentina to Chile. This is very close to the southern tip of South America and the geography means that he would need to cross the border a number of times before reaching Ushuaia (southern Argentina) where he was scheduled to take a flight to Buenos Aires on 25th Nov. He doesn't appear to have made any further border crossing back into Argentina and didn't make the flight.

Ronan is 5ft10'', Greenie/Blue eyes, Slim Build, Irish, Chemical Engineer, Age 28, and he is very Sociable and Outgoing. His last movements included travelling through El Calafate and spent three days in Torres del Paine National Park. You can see his photos on his blog ( Ronan's Travels).

We would very much appreciate any information that might help us locate Ronan. The best way to contact is via this email address that has been set up specially: inforonan@gmail.com

Kindest regards,
Ronan's family and friends.

His parents and family friends have also set up a website 'Ronan Lawlor -- Missing Person' at Ronan Lawlor - Missing person/Persona desaparecida in both English and Spanish.

Holy crap guys, hopefully this will turn out ok. Thanks to Grant for 'ok'ing your post as well.

Hope your safe!!!
 

I can only hope that Ronan is safe and well and the story has a similar ending to the gatogato thread. I'd also like to second the thanks given to Grant for allowing the post. You just never know how useful it will prove to be. Regards to the guys family who must be going through hell right now,

Thats sad. I hope he's somewhere safe.

Hi Folks .

Just to say thanks to anyone who kept an eye out for Ronan.
Unfortunately the story has not ended well they have found his clothes is a river but no body.
It is thought that he fell in the river into some rapids and drowned.

We are unlikely to find his body but at least his family and friends can now get some closure and start to move on.

Ronan died doing something he loved and we hope he is at rest.

Again thanks to everyone who responed

I think I speak for a lot of people on the HUBB when I say that we're all very sorry to hear this news, which is hard for any family to deal with, especially at Christmas. Our thoughts are with them.

Very sad news indeed,
my thoughts go out to Ronan's friends and family

Very very sad...

My thoughts are with his friends and family, especially at this time of year..

Im praying for the miracle that hes still ok somewhere, however unlikey.

Cheers Ted, as you can imagine its a sad little village here in Ireland tonight.

The Department of Foreign Affairs is liaising with the family of Ronan Lawlor, whose body has been found in southern Chile.
Mr Lawlor, 28, went missing on 18 November after he went into the Torres del Paine national park on the Argentina-Chile border.

The Co Laois man's body was found by tourists in a remote spot near the three towers mountain peaks in the centre of the park where he went missing


A spokesman for Mr Lawlor's family said a passport was found close to the body and that they were awaiting formal confirmation of the identity.

HI Folks

I dont want to keep on about this, but just to confirm that they found Ronan's body and they are now busy trying to fly him home for a funeral service and burial which should take about 10 days from now.
its sad but the parents are at lest glad they can bring him home to bury him.

thanks again for all the messages
