Amazon Rainforest: Man Missing Since 2012 Found In Deadly Amazon Rainforest Alive

A 39-year old Canadian man, Anton Pilipa was found in the Amazonian rainforest after he disappeared in 2012 and his family gave up hope of ever finding him alive.
According to International news report, Pilipa has passed through thickest and most dangerous of the forests, wandering the towns and highways. But was later found in northern Brazil late 2016, in his deranged condition and without any identification.
The Porto Velho police department were able to locate his family after several efforts to identify him on social media. Pilipa's brother,Stefan was contacted and arrangements were finally made to return the man home.

Stefan who raised more than $12,500 through GoFundMe to pay for the flight to bring his brother home on Monday, January 6, disclosed that his long lost brother, Anton Pilipa was an "anti-poverty activist and member of radical communities" before his struggles with mental illness. His thought he might already be dead but still harbored some modicum of hope. 
Pilipa survived all these years eating jungle fruits, foods from waste dump and foods given to him by kind passing strangers.
He was lucky not to encounter any dangerous predators while roaming through jungles, highways and streets. Or even had any grave ailment - at least none was reported. 
In a similar story, an Israeli adventurer, Yossi Ghinsberg was stranded for three weeks in the Bolivian Amazon forest, yet he survived.
