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.

Adding to the mystery, Worsfold reported his car stolen on July 2, five days before his disappearance. RCMP said the stolen Toyota Corolla was recovered Monday morning by Edmonton police.
More information is expected to be released after the autopsy, which is scheduled to take place Tuesday in Edmonton. Police said that would confirm the identity as well as determine the cause and manner of death.
RCMP Major Crimes Unit continues to investigate.
