Toronto police have located an elderly man who went missing over the weekend.
Officers say 75-year-old Edward had disappeared on Saturday, August 23, from the area of Pharmacy Avenue and Eglinton Avenue East in Scarborough.
“Edward suffers from Alzheimer’s, leading to progressive short-term memory loss, and we are concerned for his safety,” Duty Insp. Errol Watson told reporters at a press conference held on Tuesday.
“Edward also takes medications for various medical conditions and Edward is also hearing impaired and is not wearing his hearing aids,” Watson added.
Investigators said they were in touch with Edward’s family and worked to canvas the area as well as collect video evidence to find out where he was last seen.
On Wednesday, police posted an update on social media saying that Edward had been found in good health.
No other details were provided.
Investigators are reminding the public that a person can be reported missing at any time. “There is no 24-hour waiting period,” authorities wrote in a press release.
