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 says Larry Smith, 81, who had dementia, was reported missing on Saturday at 3 p.m.
"He had last been spoken to Friday afternoon and then when I believe it was family who went to check on him on Saturday, that was when they found him missing and reported it to us," Marshall said.
A helicopter from the Department of Lands and Forestry searched by air while the Joint Rescue Co-ordination Centre searched by sea and Ground Search and Rescue teams searched Hennesseys Island, where the man lived.
"They had searched every square inch of the island and the shoreline and they hadn't found him," Marshall said.
The search was called off late Sunday.
While the search is no longer taking place, people are asked to call the RCMP if they see Smith or have any information about him.
