Maybe the web hosting can contact him (or eventually a relative) somehow? Perhaps he gave them a phone number, or through the payments he did they could reach his bank, I don't know.
Has anyone tried to contact leaseweb?

Things like these cannot be handled so well individually. They need to be organized investigations that involve law enforcement and at most, a warrant, before any self respecting hosting company would ever communicate private matters or even listen to you. Sorry, but this is the reality of the current legal business world.
The only way someone is going to help is to start getting evidence together. http://uabci.org/redmine/projects/mbci
I couldn't said it better.
I laugh at people who think they can simply give leaseweb a call and tell them to restart a server, it simply doesn't work like that. You're not the owner, so you don't have authority under their hosting agreement for them to give you any service.
