It could of been a hacked mail account but I very much doubt it, further to this he never contacted me back after I questioned about it.

The domain you mention is Hotmail. One of the least secure and easily hackable addresses. It is relatively easy to jack an email domain and pretend to be that person. I wouldn't doubt that the account was hacked. In actual fact that is a very likely scenario. If he didn't contact you it could very well be that Hotmail noticed unusual activity on his account and temporarily froze it.
I've been in IT for 20 years and have seen this many many times before.
