Massena police said Timothy Cameron, 69, was found dead Monday, Nov. 9, 2026, after he was reported missing. Police have not released the location where he was found or a cause of death, and said there is no danger to the public.
Cameron left Massena Memorial Hospital on a Friday night and was reported missing. Police issued a Missing Vulnerable Adult alert Nov. 7. Police said information from Cameron’s family indicated he may have been in danger because of a mental health relapse.
Police said Cameron was wearing a blue hospital gown when he left the hospital. During the search, residents with outbuildings or sheds were asked to check them because he may have sought shelter from the weather.
Police said the department extended its condolences to Cameron’s family and that no further information would be released at this time. Additional information may come from the Massena Police Department or the county coroner.
The Massena Police Department can be reached at 315-769-3577. Call 911 for an emergency.
