POLICE are trying to track down a Sydney man, who made world headlines earlier this year with an elaborate bid to woo back his estranged wife, after he posted a series of suicidal tweets.
Michael Munday’s #michaellovesmelissa social media campaign went viral in April when more than a million Twitter followers threw their support behind this heartbroken man desperate to win back his “soulmate”.
His fans included a sprinkling of celebrities, Savage Garden’s Darren Hayes reportedly among them.
But on October 17, the 33-year-old IT specialist removed his profile photograph from his Twitter account, added R.I.P after his name and “Gone” to the location tag.
The last of a series of tweets posted the same day stated: “Time to say goodbye now. Don’t be sad be happy for me, my pain ends. Please remember the good things I did, not my mistakes. Sorry!!”
News.com.au attempted to contact Mr Munday and several of his family members without success. His phone numbers appear to have been disconnected and his email addresses have been disabled.
There have been no death notices or obituaries and it remains unclear whether Mr Munday followed through with his tragic plan.
Police from Fairfield in Sydney’s south west yesterday assigned a team of officers to visit Mr Munday’s last known addresses to check on his welfare after being alerted to his suicidal posts by news.com.au.
