Yeah lucas is definitely one of the more unique cows and that whole interesting group of cows has slowly died off or disappeared in recent years. Hell even chris chan is likely going to be gone for a long time. Even if it turns out it was somehow just his phone, lucas's getting to the point where he's on borrowed time and his days are very clearly numbered
The only issue I can see with the psych ward theory is he was supposedly on his meds, and the fact he was shaking like he was tends to confirm it. Though then again there was that time a few years back he tried to wean himself off his meds in secret, did it too quickly and ended up going nuts and ending up in the psych ward for awhile as a result. The shaking could be an indication he was trying something like that again. It would explain how he'd end up there without his usual buildup. The phone, again, doesn't explain him not going to the library to check out his shit like he always does in such situations, unless its combined with a sudden drop in his health preventing it, which if he's really gotten to that point means he's already as good as dead. No mention of him from any of his family implies he's still alive, as by now somebody would have likely said something about it as he's been gone for the better part of a month
The thought has occurred to me that lucas did something illegal, got called out for it and told somebody was going to the cops and ended up tossing his cell and waddling into the woods or on a bus to get to some other town and try to go into hiding, but lucas has almost no money, wouldn't be able to use or access anything anymore and is too stupid to do that without getting caught within a few days, so thats an unlikely scenario
Unless of course he's been sneaking through the streets, moving in silence like lasagna to evade the cops

Seriously what in the fuck is he even trying to say there? He truly is food obsessed to an insane degree
