A 59-year-old man has been reported missing from a medical facility in the Queen St. W. and Ossington Ave. area on Friday, police say.

In a news release, police say McNamara was last seen at roughly 1:30 p.m. He is described as five-foot-seven, 115 pounds, with a thin build, salt and pepper hair, a full beard, receding hairline, and brown eyes.

He was last seen wearing a navy-blue t-shirt, black pants, and flip flops.

Police are concerned for his safety, and are cautioning the public to not approach him if spotted but to call 911.

Police declined to confirm if McNamara was under the charge of the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health, an institution that has drawn criticisms from the public after at least three other escape cases in a month.

On July 30, 45-year-old Anthony Murdock was reported missing from CAMH. He was found in Brampton early Friday morning, according to Peel Region police.

On July 22, 27-year-old Ahmed Sualam was reported missing from the Queen and Ossington area. He was arrested later the same day.

And on July 3, 47-year-old Zhebin Cong, who was found not criminally responsible for the 2014 death of his roommate with a meat cleaver, was confirmed missing from the mental health facility. He has since left the country.
