Missing man located after he sees himself on TV

WHEAT RIDGE - Police checked hospitals and homeless shelters without luck, but after sending the photo of a missing man out to local media, he was found within hours.

Wheat Ridge Police say 60-year-old Marvin Fry went missing after leaving Lutheran Hospital in Wheat Ridge on Wednesday, Oct. 21.

Police say he was missing for nearly a week, but was located on Tuesday after he saw his own photo on TV while in a hospital bed at Rose Medical Center in Denver. He was transported there from Crossroads Homeless Shelter on Oct. 22 after showing signs of severe confusion and disorientation.

Friends of Fry say he recently seemed disoriented and has not been acting like himself. He also did not have identification with him. 

After seeing himself on TV, he alerted the medical staff.
