A missing Fairbanks man has been found dead. Alaska State Troopers say the body of 89 year old Robert “Andy” O’Grady was discovered in his truck off the Elliot Highway north of Fairbanks, on Monday night. Troopers say a family friend searching for O’Grady located the truck, which had overturned after going down a steep embankment, near milepost 24 of the Highway.
Troopers conducted a scene investigation and have sent O’Grady’s body to the State Medical Examiner for autopsy.
O’Grady, who had Alzheimer’s disease, was the subject of a Silver Alert after he failed to return home Friday night.
