The body of the 82-year-old man with Alzheimer’s, John Rodda, who has been missing since Saturday, while apparently on his way to the pharmacy, has been found in a morgue in Witbank.
Rodda had Alzheimer’s and was last seen on Saturday leaving the retirement home in Wilgers, Pretoria. His family had contacted private detective Mike Bolhuis for help in locating him, and it was on Bolhuis’ platform that an employee of a mortuary in Witbank, saw that Rodda was wanted.
The employee then contacted Bolhuis and conveyed the news to him that Rodda had been in a car accident, and had died in a hospital in Witbank. A post-mortem was done and it was determined that he died due to the injuries he sustained during the car accident.
Information regarding the collision has not yet been released at this stage and the incident is being further investigated.
