maybe ask someone back home that you're closer with that could be in contact with him. it sounds like the stuff my great uncle said when he didn't take his schizophrenia meds. he eventually wrote a letter to the mayor of winnipeg threatening to kill him which got the police involved... just a heads up.

The idea of schizophrenia occurred to me as well; it often manifests itself in the teens and twenties and drug use could be an attempt at self-medication, more a symptom of his illness than the cause of his behavior. If you get involved, it should be from a safe distance to avoid physically endangering yourself. It's not possible to know how he might interpret your actions.
