The weird thing with Loup's
Situation is that even an illness/death in the family kind of situation usually gets disclosed publically. The Jays seem to be trying their very best to not disclose any kind of information on this at all, and its very odd that he was never placed on the bereavement list, if it IS indeed a medical emergency in the family. For it to not be disclosed in any way at all like this makes me think that there may be a possibility that his family is involved in some sort of serious legal issues that they don't want blowing over publically, but I won't speculate any further than that. But this certainly seems out of the ordinary here, to be MIA on two separate occasions without notice over such a short time period.
