The family of a missing elderly man who suffers from dementia says they are concerned about his health and safety after he disappeared from the Flemingdon Park area seven days ago.
Police say 77-year-old Kahsai Semereab left the home he shares with his wife and two children at around 11 a.m. on Aug. 23 and boarded a bus in the area of St. Dennis Drive and Linkwood Lane.
TTC video footage obtained by investigators shows Semereab travelling westbound for six minutes and getting off the bus at around 11:22 a.m. near Don Mills Road and Gateway Boulevard, an area where his family says he used to live.
I am reaching out to the public. My concern after watching the video is Mr. Semereab although he utilizes a cane, he gets around quite well and my concern is that members of the public may have seen him but may not have concern for him.
According to police, the missing man is approximately five-foot-five, has a skinny build and weighs approximately 120 to 150 pounds.
Semereab, who uses a brass cane, was last seen wearing a black shirt with yellow stripes, grey khaki pants, and sandals.
West also noted that he is comfortable riding the TTC and is familiar with Pape Station.
