Toronto Police Services have found a Collingwood man who walked away from a stroke rehabilitation clinic early Friday morning.

April Kuipers, the daughter-in-law of 68-year-old James Frederick Whitworth, told Simcoe.com Whitworth was located by police on Saturday afternoon on Yonge Street.

Police and family members believe he might have been trying to make his way back to his home on Beachwood Road. She told Simcoe.com that her father-in-law tried to indicate to his nurses that he was going home — though he had no money and is still unable to speak.

Whitworth was at the Bridgepoint Active Healthcare facility, recovering from a stroke he suffered four weeks ago.
