(KNSI) – An 87-year-old man suffering from Alzheimer’s was rescued after being found at the bottom of a steep embankment.
The Kandiyohi Sheriff’s Office was called around 7:30 on Sunday night by the missing man’s family, who said he hadn’t been seen since that morning. Deputies began a search around the man’s last known location in the 6000 block of Long Lake Road in Dovre Township.
A short time later, searchers found the man on the ground near the shoreline of Point Lake behind his home. The man was rushed to Rice Memorial Hospital in Willmar with non-life-threatening injuries.
The sheriff’s office was assisted by the Spicer Fire Department, Spicer first responders, the Willmar Police Department and Kandiyohi emergency management.
