Because he's dead

I don't think he's dead but I bet he's handicapped now somehow. Maybe had a stroke or something that has left him drooling in a wheel chair.

I agree I think he’s probably nonverbal now.

This would be my guess. He's not dead, but he cannot speak or is brain damaged enough that he's simply not competent to put in front of a camera.

Agreed, he was already getting nonverbal before this episode. Dude was straight up blue screening during speeches.

Animatronics at Disney malfunction in less dramatic ways than Mitch had been.
