Christian Dube’s body was found Saturday, his family said on a Facebook page called Help Chris Come Home.

Dube had been missing for a week after walking out of Veterans Memorial Lodge, where he had lived for about five months.

The page said that Dube had left his dementia ward in slippers and made his way through two locked doors, past the reception area and out the front door. After a few days, the search was broadened to include the nearby shoreline and area residents were asked to check home-security footage for any sign of Dube.Derrick Bernardo, chief executive of Broadmead Care, which runs Veterans Memorial Lodge, called Dube’s death “a heartbreaking loss for everyone in our community, including residents and their families, and the staff and volunteers who knew and cared for Chris.

Bernardo said Broadmead Care is “working closely with authorities to understand the circumstances surrounding this event.”
