The discovery occurred only hours after the Rochester Police Department issued an advisory that renewed an earlier request for assistance in finding Thomas McElroy. Residents and property owners in the vicinity of St. Marys Hospital check their yards, sheds, garages, areas beneath decks, and other places for any sign of the 43-year-old Rochester man.

McElroy was reported missing on December 27 after he left the hospital against medical advice. He was last seen walking along 11th Avenue Northwest in clothing that was not appropriate for the weather conditions.
