RCMP say they have found the 44-year-old patient missing from a psychiatric hospital in Coquitlam, B.C.

Police originally asked for help locating the missing patient yesterday, but that request has been taken down.

A Canada-wide warrant was issued for the man who police said was reported as an "unauthorized absence" from the Colony Farm Forensic Psychiatric Hospital on Friday.

He was wanted for being unlawfully at large and police said he had a mental illness.
