Missing Elderly Man Found in San Jose

A missing elderly man was found Tuesday in San Jose by an ambulance service and taken to a local area hospital, police said.

Family members have also been reunited with Thomas Dottore.

The 81-year-old man walked away from his convalescent home Monday afternoon and was reported missing just before 6 p.m.

He walked out of the home on Forest Avenue a couple hours earlier.  The home is on the other side of I-880 near Valley Fair Shopping Mall.

Police during the search said Dottore doesn't have any cash on him. He doesn't know his name, but does know where he lives and has taken public transportation in the past.

The only thing that people who know him can say about what he was wearing, is that he had on a light blue jacket.

He has a history of muscle weakness and requires daily insulin injections. He also has a tendency to become confused and disoriented.

There was no foul play suspected, police said.
