State police say a missing Alzheimer's patient who was reported missing late last week has been found alive.
On Thursday, Edward Clement, 72, of Tupper Lake was reported missing to the New York State Police in his hometown. He had been last seen earlier in the day operating his Dodge pickup truck, troopers said.
State Police, Tupper Lake Police Department, Department of Environmental Conservation and State Forest Rangers searched the area around Tupper Lake, initially to no avail.
On Sunday, a State Police helicopter spotted Clement's truck in a wooded area just off state Route 3 west of the village. Troopers and Rangers found him alive and walking out of an unoccupied seasonal cabin.
Police say Clement may have gotten disoriented while attempting to drive to a family member’s residence, got his truck stuck on a private roadway and walked to the unoccupied cabin after being unable to move his truck.
He was transported to Adirondack Medical Center in Saranac Lake for observation because of his long exposure to the cold temperatures, troopers said.
