(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 mantafit@safe-mail.net.

No... It can't be!!!!

Man, I will miss those commercials. We all have John Basedow to thank for imparting unto us the wisdom of the Fitness Celebrity.

John Basedow>>>>>Chuck Norris

forget it my post was in bad taste.

A man like that enjoys the healthier things in life... do you think he got to at least enjoy one more sip of Ocean Spray before he died?

Wouldn't you think the people doing the mass graves would say: "Hey, look! This guy has perfect abs! He must be John Basedow!"

If he hasn't shown up at this late date there's a pretty good chance he's not showing up for anything.

But yeah its not a something we should be joking about. I know what you mean, its so weird when you see a headline saying "154,000 people dead in Asia, 30 Canadians still missing". Totaly minimalizing the dead Asian people, like your just supposed to care about people from your own Country.

In all seriousness, I hope they find him and then his commercials go missing.

I'm no coroner, but I'm fairly sure that after a week his body won't be showing those chiseled abs anymore. I was reading articles that due to the moisture all the bodies look relatively featureless to the point where even gender can be hard to tell.

Nope, with no abs or tone left, they'll just write down "scrawny white dude"

jokes aside, that's terrible news, as all the other deaths. Without the internet at my side for the last 3 weeks, I've been reading the paper a lot and reading a lot about the tsunami victims.
