RCMP say a search for a missing man in Lower Prospect, N.S., has been suspended after officials believe he was swept out to sea during post-tropical storm Fiona.
RCMP spokesperson Cpl. Chris Marshall said Larry Smith, 81, who had dementia, was reported missing on Saturday at 3 p.m.
"They had searched every square inch of the island and the shoreline and they hadn't found him," Marshall said. Humphrey said Smith went everywhere by bike or on foot, and was the only person who lived on the island, which is accessible by road.
