Mysterious Disappearance of Former Nickelodeon Star

But later that day, the actor was found safe and sound. The Daytona Beach Police Department stated in an update that "we can confirm law enforcement officials are in contact, and Mr. Bell is safe."
The former child actor joked about his mysterious disappearance on a Twitter post, which was deleted later. The "Drake and Josh" star quipped, "You leave your phone in the car and don't answer for the night, and this?"
A police report claims that the search for the former Nickelodeon star began when his brother, Robert Bell, contacted the Orlando Police Department. The actor reportedly blurted out some suicidal statements due to problems in child custody.
Now, the wife of the ex-child star has reportedly filed for the dissolution of their marriage.
