Days after she’d gone missing from her Mount Albion apartment building, Hamilton Police confirmed Shirley Love’s body had been found near a golf course just a few blocks away.
Love’s family told CHML she’d been diagnosed with dementia, and went for a walk Tuesday afternoon and didn’t make it back home
In a press conference held at the Glendale Golf and Country Club, Hamilton Police Chief Frank Bergen confirmed the news
“This is not the outcome that the Hamilton Police Service or any community member wanted, but at this time we thank you for your engagement and remind yourself this is what Hamilton is about – we are a community.”
Police say more than 300 volunteers had been involved in the search for Shirley Love.
Hamilton Police Media relations officer Constable Indy Bharaj said during the search it was all hands on deck.
“Our ACTION unit, our patrol officers, our detectives — we’ve have our K9 unit out there, we’ve even had our marine unit come out and drive through some of the muddy terrain,” Bharaj said.
Drones were also involved all three days of the search.
