In an update, Frank’s family said German police informed them that he had been seen in Berlins after being admitted to hospital following a seizure.

Frank’s brother, Conan, says they have yet to hear from him and that the last form of contact was had nearly two months ago.

“Frank is in Berlin as far as we know but there haven’t been any sightings of him since the end of August,” Conan said.

“The German police have told us they were speaking with him and from the conversations we have had he has indicated he doesn’t want to come home.

“We’re still very worried and concerned about him and we want to just tell him that we miss him, especially our mum.

“It was out of the blue we found out that he lost his phone and it’s just so unlike him not to be in contact, especially for this amount of time.”

It has been two weeks now since the German police say they spoke with the Northern Irish man and his family says they are becoming increasingly worried boot him, as PSNI officers continue to assist them in their search.

“All we want is for him to reach out to family or friends to let us know he is OK- and he’s safe,” Conan said.

“Frank has mental health issues and the longer it goes on the more worried we are that something bad will happen to him.”

His family have asked that anyone who is in Berlin or visiting the German city and knows of Conan’s potential whereabouts to contact Conan at conanmccaughey@outlook.com.
