After days of searching
Missing patient (76) found dead
The relatives of a dementia patient were still hoping for a Christmas miracle over the past few days, but since Sunday there has been sad certainty: the 76-year-old, who had been missing since Thursday, was found dead in Leonding (Upper Austria). The patient had disappeared from the emergency room of the Kepler University Hospital in Linz.
On Sunday afternoon, the man from Linz was found dead in Leonding - around seven kilometers away from the place where he disappeared - after a large-scale search by numerous helpers lasting several days.
It had previously become known that the man's e-card had been found in a wooded area. The Linzer's body was then discovered nearby in a brick arbor. There are no indications that he was not at fault.
Drones and search dogs deployed
The man had been taken to the emergency room on Thursday following a medical incident. The search was particularly intensive due to the freezing temperatures. Several fire departments, including drones and search dogs, were still in action on Sunday.
