DARTMOUTH – The Nova Scotia Health Authority is asking the public for assistance locating a patient missing from a Dartmouth Hospital who they say is under increased risk to himself the longer he is away from treatment.

Matthew Travis Carr, 38, went missing on Monday evening and is described as a white, 5 ft. 7 in. tall with short red hair.

He was last seen wearing a brown leather jacket, a green hooded sweater, and sneakers.

NSHA said staff are working with Regional Police and the Mobile Crisis Unit to find Carr, and anyone with information is asked to contact police.
