The unnamed resident of Burnaby, British Columbia, was found severely dehydrated where he was extracted from a tangle of debris by first responders Monday.
According to the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, at around 8pm Monday, they received a report from a man who said that he had not seen or heard from his relative in several days.
According to the caller, the 76-year-old had been ill and suffering from mental health issues linked to a severe hoarding problem, Burnaby News Leader reported.
