Vancouver Police are asking for the public’s help to locate a missing man with dementia who walked away from Mount St. Joseph Hospital at 3080 Prince Edward Street at approximately 7:00 p.m. this evening.

Fan Kong is Asian, 75 years old, 5’4″ tall and 130 lbs., with grey hair, and brown eyes. He was last seen wearing a grey hat (possibly the same as in his photo), a white collared shirt under a long sleeve blue sweater, grey pants, and dark shoes.

Mr. Kong walks with a slight shuffle and does not speak English. He has severe dementia, and police and family are concerned for his well-being.

Area searches by police around his care home, the area where he went missing from, as well as checks of public transit, other Metro Vancouver police agencies, taxi companies, and local hospitals, have failed to turn up any sign of Mr. Kong.

The Vancouver Police are asking anyone who sees Fan Xin Kong to contact police, and wait with him until officers arrive.
