Overview
- Hungarian outlets and Buzsaky’s family had raised alarms after reporting he had not been seen for about a week and police launched searches.
- Buzsaky issued a public statement saying he is safe, that he stepped away to deal with difficult changes, and that he stopped his retreat once he learned of the reports.
- Queens Park Rangers confirmed the 44-year-old former midfielder is alive and well following his statement.
- Buzsaky has previously spoken openly about off-field problems, including an admitted addiction and his 2015 retirement because of injuries, which he cited as context for his withdrawal.
- His frequent travel and work abroad, notably in Greece, complicated efforts to trace him and may prompt closer cross-border coordination for future welfare checks.
