He was found dead in the woods on Sunday, almost three weeks after he disappeared from his home in Montauk on the East End of Long Island. He was 82 and had dementia.
He was last seen on March 31, and the authorities had conducted an extensive search for him.

I met Peter in Nairobi in 1975 and as destiny would have it we were forever intertwined.
He did discover, photographed and molded me in a way as I have never been photographed before or knew anything about modeling and have never seen a fashion magazine.
He was at times exasperating as when he presented me to the American news media, Mr. Beard gleefully spun an imperial fantasy: that he had come upon me herding cattle in the African bush.
In truth, I speak five languages, had been a political science student at the University of Nairobi and the daughter of a Somali diplomat.

Beard’s artistic influence is easy to spot on the walls of art galleries, but his work in environmental and animal conservation was closest to his heart. “He led the way,” said Paul Theroux. “He was really the first person to chronicle the decline of wildlife—the majestic mega-fauna of East Africa, elephants, lions, cheetahs—and he did it in a characteristic way, by depicting the deaths in iconic images, and writing about his own experiences, using texts from classic books related to Africa." Even by the dashing standards of wildlife photography, his résumé was the stuff of high drama, full of daring, danger, romance and tall tales, many of them actually true.
His public persona sometimes overshadowed his work, but he was an artistic pioneer and environmentalist.

In a statement, Beard’s family said he “died where he lived… in nature.” “I like things that don’t look like you’re in control. It’s like life itself. You just learn how to benefit from accidents and chances that you take.” - Peter Beard
My condolences to his wife Najma, daughter Zara and his family & friends.
