After an exhaustive 84-hour search, a missing elderly Maple Ridge man has been found dead along the Maple Ridge-Pitt Meadows border.

76-year-old Otto Csaszar originally went missing after he left his home in the 12000-block of 207A Street last Friday morning.

Csaszar had walked down to a nearby gas station to purchase a newspaper, which is something that he apparently does regularly on his own.

However, from there, Csaszar did not return home and his family contacted Ridge Meadows RCMP.
