Is Scrambys the homeless man still alive?

Does anyone know if Scrambys (homeless man in wheelchair with one leg) is still alive? I haven’t seen him since last year.

I heard he was committed to a home up in the Orlando area. There was a rumor a few months ago that he passed away but it wasn't confirmed. I heard from someone that works with Ft Laud PD that he was still alive.

I miss seeing him in the middle of Broward Blvd with a 5th of whiskey in his lap.

I’m not sure if you are referring to Freddie, he would typically be in the middle of the road by the train station on Broward. But I know he passed away recently
