Missing Supreme Court Justice Clement Gascon 'In Good Health,' Supreme Court Judge's Family Says

Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 09 May, 2019 10:40 PM

OTTAWA — The family of Supreme Court Justice Clement Gascon says he is in good health a day after he briefly went missing.

In a statement issued through the court, the Gascon family acknowledges the judge's uncharacteristic absence caused "some concern," but they're providing no explanation for the odd turn of events.

Ottawa police said late Wednesday that Gascon had been found safe and sound after he was reported missing earlier in the day and his family had expressed concern for his safety.

Police did not release details on what happened or where he was found.

Before he was reported missing Gascon, 58, was last seen near the Supreme Court building just west of Parliament Hill.

Last month, the court announced that Gascon would step down from the bench for "personal and family reasons" after five years on the high court.
