SAFE: Missing Cranston Man Located at Hospital

John Hanrahan was found at a local hospital.

A missing 81-year-old Cranston man that prompted a silver alert has been found safe.

Cranston Police Major Robert W. Ryan said John Hanrahan, 81, of Orchard Street, was found at Rhode Island Hospital by authorities.

"It appears if he somehow made his way to Providence where he was eventually transported to Rhode Island Hospital by rescue," Ryan said. "His medical condition is being evaluated at this time."

Police responded to the hospital to verify his identity and family members have been notified.

Hanrahan disappeared earlier today and was last seen by his daughter.

The silver alert was issued shortly before 6 p.m.

"The Cranston Police Department would like to thank all of the media outlets for their willing assistance in this investigation," Ryan said.
