Just hours before Kim revealed the devastating news, she had taken to social media in a desperate attempt to locate her missing brother. In a heartfelt plea posted on Instagram, Kim shared a photo of Chris and begged for help in finding him. "MISSING! This is my brother Christopher Cattrall, or Chris, as we call him," she wrote. "He has been missing since Tuesday, January 30, from his home in Lacombe, Alberta, Canada. His keys, cell phone, and wallet were left on the table, and his front door was unlocked. This is not like Chris," Kim explained, her voice filled with concern.
Kim went on to describe Chris in detail, hoping it would help in the search. "He would never leave his unlocked home without those items or his seven beloved dogs. Chris is 55 years old, stands six feet tall, weighs 200 pounds, has blue eyes, short brown hair, and a goatee. He's of average build and is usually wearing a waist-length hooded winter coat with black gloves, blue jeans, and calf-high black winter boots," she continued. "He’s a one-of-a-kind brother. Help us bring him home safe. Please spread the word. Many thanks for reading this," Kim concluded, her desperation evident in every word.
