A senior citizen who went missing from St. Albert under circumstances police called “suspicious” is now believed to be dead.
In an update Monday, RCMP said investigators have recovered a body believed to be 75-year-old Ronald Worsfold. The last time anyone saw him was at a home in St. Albert on July 7, 2017.
His family reported him missing on July 9, after not hearing from him: something Mounties said was out of character for the senior.
