A man who was missing from a Halifax hospital has been located safe.

Crews had been searching the South End for him.

Nova Scotia Health reported the patient missing on Tuesday.

In Saturday morning’s release, NSH said the patient has been located and returned to the hospital.

In a Facebook post Friday night, the man’s sister said he was found alive but in “rough shape.”

She thanked everyone for their diligent support to help bring her brother home after four days of non-stop searching.
