Toronto police say the husband of former Ontario health minister George Smitherman has been found alive, after being missing since Monday.

Constable Wendy Drummond confirmed that Mr. Peloso has been found near Dupont and Lansdowne, “conscious and breathing.”

“That’s all we’ve got at this point,” said Const. Drummond.

Earlier on Tuesday, an extensive search was underway near the intersection after police triangulated the last known location of Peloso’s cell phone.

The ground search, along the railway line behind a GE plant, included police officers from 13 Division and a canine unit.  (more...)
