(PRWEB) January 2, 2005 -- Fitness celebrity and television personality, John Basedow has been missing in Phuket, Thailand since the deadly Tsunami devastated the area where he was vacationing on Sunday, December 26th, 2004. Best know for his fitness video commercials, John Basedow has long been a part of the fitness community and has appeared in many health and fitness periodicals and television programs.

John Basedow was vacationing in Phuket, Thailand when the Tsunami hit and has not made contact with his Public Relations Agent, Paquita Jean-Charles as expected. An avid body surfer and volleyball player, Mr. Basedow routinely travels to Phuket, Thailand for vacation during the winter holidays. The last communication with Mr. Basedow was on Christmas day. Since the Tsunami atrocity his whereabouts have been unknown. He has not contacted friends, family or business associates via telephone or e-mail. Phone calls to the Patong Beach Hotel, where Mr. Basedow was staying have not led to any additional information. Local hospital records have not reported him as a patient.


"We are hoping for the best." Says Public Relations Agent, Paquita Jean-Charles. "If John is capable he would be helping all those he can. We can only hope that that"s what he has been doing and why he has not contacted us."

In addition to his best selling fitness video series, Mr. Basedow has also been featured in a number of health and fitness related periodicals including Exercise for Men, Men's Exercise, Natural Muscle Magazine, MuscleZine, New Living, and LI Voices.

Manta Communications, the company that produces and distributes the John Basedow video series is seeking any additional information. The United States State Department and the Royal Thai Government Foreign Ministry has been contacted but unfortunately are unable to provide any additional information as to Mr. Basedow"s whereabouts. Any information or questions should be directed to Paquita Jean-Charles at [email protected].

i just saw his commercial last night. i thought to myself, no way in hell can you get THAT jacked and ripped from a video.

you can with mine. *


























* cocaine and AAS sold separately
 
There's no way he is dead. It is pretty obvious from the commercial that Basedow was a cyborg. He moved way too mechanically and had the personality of a cinder block. He probably just activated his cybergills and is now living amongst the sea creatures and working out in pecs via butterfly stroke in the process.
 
Pec and bi implants added to much weight and he lost his ability to swim.
 
oh and i just read all the threads...you should all be ashamed.


He was always helping people in the gym. Many people would come up to him for advice. He always had a smile and a nice word for EVERYONE and this is before he did his infomercials. I believe what the article says. If he's alive he's helping as many people as he can. He was that kind of person. If not, god bless you John....RIP. :(
 
You think his big ass head would look like a friggin buoy bobbin in the water. Shouldn't be too tough to spot him.

Did he tell you to wear your hair straight or curly?

When was the last time you saw him?

Ummm, I'm trying to remember. It had to have been before Christmas. There is a woman at my gym who works for him. If I see her today, I'll ask her if she heard anything.

This is the woman I'm gonna ask if she's heard from him. I know you guys think this is funny, but it's really very sad. He was such a nice guy.

This is going to sound really insensitive, but I have a newsflash for you. WE UNDERSTAND THAT IT'S VERY VERY SAD THAT JOHN BASEDOW MAY BE DEAD. We also understand that he was a nice guy. I'm sure there were lots of nice people of the 200,000 people that died that were nice guys. There are also lots of assholes on the internet that will say all sorts of shit for no reason, some serious, some kidding. Just an FYI.

Sorry. I couldn't keep it in anymore.
 
That is sad. Hope he is fine. Some of the people in here are fucked. As much as you hate him, there is no reason to be saying that you are proud that he is dead while making jokes about it at the same time. I am not a big fan of his either, but I respect him for what he is doing and as an entrepreneur. He is trying to motivate American to get in shape and so far he has been doing an excellent job while doing what he loves and making millions at such a young age. What the hell have you guys done with your life instead of winning and making fun of succesfull people who have actually done something with themselves.

It's not insensitive to me at all. I'm glad someone finally acknowledged what I typed. THanks. :)


Patrick,

Thanks too!
 
It is wrong, but I also can't help but laugh hysterically at the replies on this thread.

Damn you all, now I'm going to Hell too.

Sorry to be the bearer of good news but John is alive an well. As soon as I got in I asked the owner of the gym if he heard anything. He laughed and said he just saw John on Friday. On my way out I saw Caryn(lady in the picture) and she giggled too and said he's fine. She said the state department called him, his mom called him.....

Who knows who started this rumor. I felt bad cause i use to make fun of him with my ex all the time. He wears a sweat band thing on his head and a sleeveless shirt. And yes he's ripped but he only weighs like 160.

So carry on with the "fun making". I promise to not scold again.
