Man missing since February 16 found dead
By Shannon PROUDFOOT, Staff Reporter
A father and son out for an afternoon walk in Morningside Park made a grim discovery yesterday afternoon: the body of a 57-year-old man who wandered away from a Scarborough nursing home nearly a month ago.
John GOMES, who suffered from schizophrenia and required medication, was last seen leaving the Seven Oaks Nursing Home in Scarborough on February 16, wearing only a T-shirt, cotton pants, running shoes and a three-quarter-length jacket.
The nursing home, which houses 250 residents, is located on Neilson Rd. near Morningside Ave. and Ellesmere Rd., right beside the park where GOMES' body was discovered yesterday.
No foul play is suspected in the death, and an autopsy was scheduled for today to determine the exact cause.
Det. Tim BATES said GOMES' family repeatedly expressed their gratitude to the public, media and police for their help in trying to locate GOMES after he went missing.
