His family said Bridges checked him out of the facility under false pretenses.

He claimed to be Morgan’s uncle, but they are not related and no one in Morgan’s family knows who Bridges is.

Morgan has not been in contact with any of his friends or family since leaving the facility.

Morgan’s right leg has been amputated and he has a prosthetic leg.

His family says he cannot survive without his medication and he did not take them with him when he left the facility.
