More details are emerging about Drake Bell's brief disappearance.
Drake's brother Robert Bell reported concern over the Nickelodeon alum's wellbeing April 12 after Drake allegedly made suicidal comments, according to a police report obtained by E! News on April 14.
Robert, who lives in Huntington Beach, Calif., told the Orlando Police Department that Drake had been "distraught" over alleged custody disputes with estranged wife Janet Von Schmeling, whom he had been visiting in Winter Park, Fla., to discuss a child custody agreement, per the report. (Drake and Janet share a 2-year-old son.)
The Drake & Josh star sent texts to his mom where he allegedly expressed not wanting to live anymore, according to the report. Robert sent authorities two screenshots and one voice recording of Drake talking about harming himself.
At that time, pings to Drake's cellphone saw him traveling through Ormond Beach, Titusville and Daytona Beach in Florida, per the report. The last ping located him near Mainland High School, where authorities were unable to make contact and find Drake that night.
The following morning, the Daytona Beach Police Department issued a missing persons alert for Drake on Facebook, stating he was "considered missing and endangered." Authorities later said they located Drake, adding, "We can confirm law enforcement officials are in contact and Mr. Bell is safe."
Afterward, Drake offered an explanation for his disappearance on Twitter, writing alongside a laughing emoji, "You leave your phone in the car and don't answer for the night and this?"
The actor didn't provide any other comment or details of the disappearance.
E! News reached out to Bell's rep for comment and hasn't heard back.
