Whitehorse senior missing since Sunday found dead, RCMP say

Whitehorse RCMP say a 79-year-old man, missing since Sunday, has been found deceased.

In a news release on Tuesday evening, police said David Eric Godfrey was found and they thanked Yukon Search and Rescue and other volunteers who had helped search for Godfrey.

Police had earlier asked the public for help, saying Godfrey was last seen on Sunday in the city's Porter Creek area. Police said they were concerned for the senior's well-being because he was not wearing clothes suitable for cold weather and may not have shoes on.

Police released no other details about where Godfrey was found, or the suspected cause of death.
