Detroit man with dementia found after going missing after hospital release

Detroit police say a missing elderly man was recovered on Wednesday.

Bobbie King was last seen leaving a hospital over the weekend, causing police to ask the public for help.

King, 81, had not been seen since he was discharged from a hospital in the 4200 block of Antoine, which is where the Detroit Medical Center's downtown hospital is located.

His caretaker said he has dementia and other health problems - which led to growing concerns until his recovery this afternoon.
