Missing Belfast man found alive, family say

A Belfast man who disappeared from an airport in Paris has been found alive, his family has confirmed.

Robert Kincaid, 38, is receiving emergency medical treatment in hospital but "hes going to be okay", a family member has said.

He was due to get a connecting flight to Dublin from Charles de Gaulle airport in Paris on Thursday 17 July, after working on an oil rig in Benin, west Africa.

The last time Mr Kincaid previously spoke to his family was after he missed his flight that evening - behaviour which his father had said was "out of character".

His brother and a friend travelled out to France to search for him earlier this week.

His father said Mr Kincaid was found by emergency services and taken to hospital.

Robert Kincaid Sr previously told BBC Radio Ulsters Good Morning Ulster programme that the family had tried to ring his phone again the evening of his missed flight but say it was answered by a man who they believe was speaking French.

The phone then became disconnected which his father said was very unusual as Robert would normally have been in contact with his mother or friends "every day without fail".
