Possible suicide
GOLDbard was a gifted nonbinary musician. They were found deceased after their car was found abandoned on a car ferry.
A routine BC Ferries sailing from the Sunshine Coast to the Lower Mainland has turned into a search for a missing person after their car was found abandoned onboard the vessel.
The Sunshine Coast RCMP has issued a public notice asking for assistance in locating 51-year-old [GOLDbard].
According to the RCMP, [GOLDbard]’s orange Subaru XV was left abandoned on the 2:35 p.m. ferry on Thursday, July 2, when it docked in Horseshoe Bay from Langdale.
“No one claimed the vehicle and no one matching [GOLDbard]’s description was seen in the area,” wrote the Sunshine Coast RCMP in a release.
"[GOLDbard]’s wallet, personal belongings and cell phone were located inside the vehicle. Family and friends are very worried about Goldbard’s well-being."
In the introduction to the music video of their song "Look Back", GOLDbard talks about how they went from straight passing to visibly queer through only a haircut when they came out.
In this middle of so much GRIEF
it may seem strange
2 build an altar to
QUEER JOY
But GRIEF & JOY
R both part of LOVE
& it is LOVE
that reminds us
WHY WE R ALIVE
So i will imagine
BEAUTIFUL QUEER FUTURES
& dream imPOSSIBLE DREAMS
Because new worlds r born
When someone dares 2
DREAM a new reality
into existence.-- GOLDbard (from https://www.instagram.com/p/DTjn14qEQBw/)
