Elderly Man With Alzheimer's Disease Found Dead

"Searchers have found the body of a 72-year-old Nova Scotia man with Alzheimer's disease who disappeared Saturday when his wife got out of their car to ask directions.

The body of Placide Trottier was discovered at around noon on Thursday near Antigonish, about 110 kilometres east of Truro. A searcher travelling aboard a Department of Natural Resources helicopter spotted something in the woods, said RCMP Sgt. Frank Skidmore. "We figure he went there the very first day, [it's just that] we couldn't find him.

He said searching for Trottier in the dense woods was "like looking for a needle in a haystack, and unfortunately we found the needle but not to our satisfaction." Trottier drove off on Saturday when his wife got out of their car at a gas station to ask for directions. His Honda Civic was found abandoned on a logging road, with its doors locked, at about 8 a.m. Thursday. Police said Trottier's body may have been lying where it was found for some time."
