Beyhan Mutlu, 50, had not returned home after an evening of drinking with his friends in Turkey. His relatives, who live in Inegol in the northwestern Bursa province, were concerned when he did not return home.<\/p>\n
Mr Mutlu’s wife had attempted to contact the man when he failed to show up. She then reported him missing.<\/p>\n
Officials believe he wandered off into the forest while drunk and his friends were unable to find him.<\/p>\n
Whilst the search party looked for Mr Mutlu, he stumbled across them in the woods but had no idea that he was the man they were looking for.<\/p>\n

He had been part of the group for hours before those around him realised.<\/p>\n
But the penny dropped for the missing man as he began to hear calls of his name mid-trek through the forest.<\/p>\n
