WEYMOUTH, Mass. — Police have located the 87-year-old man who sparked a search early Monday morning after he went missing from a nursing home in Weymouth overnight.
Weymouth police said the man, who is a dementia patient at CareOne at Weymouth, a care facility at 64 Performance Drive, was found near the search area just before 6 a.m., walking along a road. Police said he is being checked for injuries because he was only wearing shorts and a T-shirt when he walked away from CareOne.
Police would not say what time the man was initially discovered missing.
This is a developing story. Check back for updates as more information becomes available.
Search crews had established a staging area in a parking lot near the facility and boats were brought in because of the proximity to a retention pond.
