A GoFundMe had been set up for Eastwood’s family to help cover for their travel and accommodation expenses during the search effort, and has currently raised almost $6,000 at time of writing.
An earlier missing persons report had noted that Eastwood suffers from depression. Forbidden Kingdom Festival have yet to comment on the news.
