Police: Missing Elderly Man Found In Brush

AUBURN HILLS (WWJ) - Authorities say a 76-year-old Pontiac man who disappeared after leaving a local hotel has been found safe.

Police say officers located John Hill around 9 p.m. Thursday while searching through an area of brush between businesses on Executive Hills and I-75 in Auburn Hills, near where he went missing.

Hill was taken to McLaren Oakland Hospital for treatment as a precaution.

"We thank the citizens and businesses for all the assistance they provided us," Lt. Jill McDonnell said in a statement.

Hill was reported missing on Wednesday after he was last seen around 9:30 a.m. leaving a hotel in the area of Featherstone and Opdyke Road in Auburn Hills. Relatives and police were especially worried because Hill was not carrying his medication when he left.
