UPDATE: Ottawa man trapped in house all winter by snow found alive
Published Friday, March 8, 2019 2:39PM ESTA man who police describe as “a recluse” has been found alive after spending the winter trapped inside his house by snow and living off canned food.
“He was quite thankful. My understanding is that he’s a recluse -- didn’t want to ask for help, which is difficult for some people to do,” said Ottawa Police Staff Sergeant John Gibbons. Neighbours said the man, believed to be in his 50s or 60s, usually only leaves his house at night. Some neighbours told CTV Ottawa that they only saw him once or twice a year.
