A Kalamazoo County teenager has been found safe in Missouri.

16-year-old Michael Thorton was reported missing after jumping out a moving vehicle near the intersection of West Main Street and N Drake road in Kalamazoo Tuesday night. The incident followed Thorton's release from the hospital after a suicide attempt.

Thorton's parents worried their missing son may be suicidal.

They received a call from Missouri police Thursday that their son was safe and in good health in the town of Moberly, WMMT-3 reports.

The night before Thorton had messaged his parents from a woman's phone in Madison Missouri, telling them he was okay.

Thorton is with police in Missouri while his parents travel to pick him up.

A van with Michigan plates was found near where Thorton was found. Police are investigating if Thorton stole the van and drove it to Missouri.
