A missing 72-year-old Coniston man has been located. Unfortunately, he was found deceased early this morning, Greater Sudbury Police said in a news release issued over the noon hour today.
GSPS said officers with Patrol Operations and the police search and rescue team searched throughout the night and into the morning in an attempt to locate the man, who was identified only as "Stanley".
The man's body was located along Allen Street in Coniston at around 5 a.m. today.
Police said foul play is not suspected in his death. GSPS expressed condolences to Stanley's family in the news release.
A post-mortem exam will be conducted bythe coroner's office to determine cause of death.
Stanley was reported missing last night after he left his home on Caruso Street in Coniston on foot at around 11:30 a.m. on Oct. 19. That was the last time he was seen alive.
The older man did not own a vehicle and was known to walk considerable distances on foot, GSPS said.
