Norwegian police began a search operation on Saturday morning after an elderly man went missing from a care and activity center in Troms. The man was reported absent from the facility, prompting immediate involvement from local law enforcement. Just before noon the same day, authorities confirmed that the man had been found dead in the sea. According to police reports, his body was discovered very close to the location where he was last seen. There is no suspicion of criminal activity in connection with his death.
The recovery operation involved personnel from the local fire department, who used a boat to retrieve the man’s body from the water. A medical doctor was present at the scene and officially declared the man deceased shortly after he was brought ashore. Police emphasized that the circumstances surrounding the incident do not suggest any unlawful actions or foul play.
Next of kin have been informed of the man’s death, as confirmed by official sources. Authorities have not disclosed the man’s identity or provided additional information about the events leading up to his disappearance. The case remains under administrative review by local police, but it is not being investigated as a criminal matter. No further details about the care center or the timeline of the man’s absence have been released to the public.
