BASTROP — A Bastrop man reported missing nearly a month ago was found dead Friday evening near the hospital where he was last seen, officials said.
The body of Roberto Torres, 78, was discovered June 19 near a ravine close to St. David’s Hospital, 3201 Texas 71, following a search by Texas EquuSearch, the Bastrop County Sheriff’s Office and Bastrop County Emergency Services District No. 2. Torres had been reported missing May 20, when he was last seen near the hospital around 6 p.m. wearing dark clothing.
Reports said Torres was diabetic and in need of medical attention at the time of his disappearance. The Texas Department of Public Safety issued a Silver Alert for him days after he went missing, which was canceled May 29.
A cause of death has not yet been determined.
