Man who went missing from B.C. hospital found dead in Burnaby
Police say there's no indication of foul play in death of 41-year-old Gavin Deloes
A 41-year-old man who went missing after leaving Royal Columbian Hospital in his flip flops and a hospital gown last weekend has been found dead in Burnaby, B.C.
Police do not suspect foul play in the death of Gavin Deloes, according to an RCMP press release.
Deloes was reported missing after he walked out of the New Wesminster hospital early Sunday morning, with no identification, money or phone. According to his mother, he had been injured in a car crash Friday and was showing signs of confusion.
On Wednesday, a member of the public found his slippers, socks, hospital gown, iPod and mouthwash in the green space behind the Salvation Army Cariboo Hill Temple in Burnaby.
Dr. Victoria Lee, president and CEO of Fraser Health, said Friday that a review process has been started to look into the disappearance and death of Deloes.
Lee said the review would look at the internal processes of the hospital to make sure all guidelines were followed.
