Good news - Dorset Police have announced that "Officers searching for a missing man from Bournemouth are pleased to confirm he has been located safe and well. Dorset Police received a report at around 2pm on Monday 16 May 2022 raising concern for the welfare of Darren Miller. Following extensive enquiries by officers, Darren has been located safe and well".

It's not what I was expecting, to be honest.

Someone, possibly his daughter, is claiming that Darren has been returned home but has not received any health checks. She isn't happy.

Very pleased to hear Darren was found. He was missing for almost 3 weeks!

Hope he’ll get all possible medical help and support now.

It indeed sounds the police failed to take him for an emergency health check :(
