Print Edition
AUSTRALIAN great Grant Hackett has been found safe and sound after being reported missing yesterday, the triple Olympic champion’s father Neville said.
Hackett, who has struggled with drug and alcohol problems away from the pool, was detained by Gold Coast police on Wednesday after his parents reported he had suffered a “breakdown”.
He was released after a few hours without charge but a day later, his parents said he had disappeared.
“Grant’s been found alive and sober,” Neville Hackett said outside the family’s Mermaid Waters home. “He’s spoken to police. He’s actually hiding because he’s very, very embarrassed about all this.”
Earlier, Hackett’s father had put out a plea to find the former Olympic swimmer. “Grant, let us know where you are. We love you and we want to help you.”
The swimmer’s brother Craig told reporters on Wednesday that Hackett was a “danger to himself and to the community” and that his family were unable to help him alone.
However, before he was reported missing, Hackett posted a photo of himself on Instagram with cuts and bruises to his face and said that his brother had beaten him.
