A man who went missing from the Forensic Psychiatric Hospital in May has returned.

Coquitlam RCMP reported Gregory Owen Schleen, 49, had been returned to the Coquitlam institution. Schleen had also disappeared in September 2009 while out on a day pass.

Schleen's May disappearance came just a couple of days after David Fomradas walked away from the institution. In 2009 Fomradas carjacked a vehicle with actor Carly Pope inside and crashed it into the CBC building in downtown Vancouver. He was found not criminally responsible.

The two disappearances prompted officials to temporarily suspend unescorted day passes from the forensic hospital.
