  "account": "A man discovered collapsed on a street in Amsterdam three years ago is not a missing Canadian man, police in the Netherlands have announced. Speculation online suggested the man, known as “Lucky,” was John Russell Kenny, a Canadian who went missing in British Columbia in the 1990s, but Dutch police have stated this is not the case. Kenny would have been around 67 years old if he were the mystery man, according to reports. An investigation involving Canadian authorities has revealed Kenny is not the man found in Amsterdam. Dutch police previously noted that the man, known as “Lucky,” was not carrying any identification at the time of his collapse, which left him unable to communicate. Detectives are currently looking into nine potential leads, following more than 500 tips received. The police have cautioned the public against attempting to identify “Lucky” based on photographs alone, due to the potential impact this could have on those involved. This story was initially reported by The Canadian Press on Aug. 22, 2026.",
