According to reports, he had denied medical attention.

Davis was last seen in late November near his job at an Illinois bar.

Police had dropped him off at his workplace that night, with body camera clips showing that he had trouble walking, according to CBS News.

He was seen on various cameras around the area.

During the search, his daughter said that footage showed he had been “going through people’s yards, cutting through alleys,” and even asking for directions.

“We have like 10 different videos [of him] walking around pretty disoriented,” Wendy Davis said at the time.

“He’s walking a bit crooked and seems confused.”

His daughter confirmed on Facebook that his body was found this week.

“It’s an eerie feeling – thank god this terrible chapter of constant unknown is finally over. But now starts a new terrible chapter without my smarter, goofier, and relentlessly selfless other half,” Wendy Davis wrote in a post.

“This is the news we’ve all been expecting in a way, but nothing really prepares you for it.”

His body was found in a forest preserve Monday, according to the CBS News.

“The virality of dad’s case is something none of us expected,” Wendy Davis continued.

“The support from millions of people across the whole world carried our spirits high throughout these last few months.”

“If nothing else, I can confidently say this whole thing gave me so much more faith in humanity,” Wendy said.
