The Coquitlam RCMP are asking for the public's help in finding a man missing from Riverview Hospital.
Xiaohis (Robert) Cheng, 37, was last seen by hospital staff at approximately 4 p.m. on July 29 and was later reported missing to Coquitlam Mounties.
Cheng is described as an Asian man, 6' tall, 160 lbs. with black hair and brown eyes. He was last seen wearing blue jeans and a red shirt with the word "Canada" sewn on the front.
Cheng suffers from a mental disorder but is not considered a danger to himself or others, according to Coquitlam RCMP spokesperson Const. Kristina Biro.
Riverview staff would like to see Cheng returned to the hospital as soon as possible so he can continue his psychiatric treatment, Biro said.
Cheng is a new patient at the hospital and does not have family in the area.
Anyone with information on Cheng's whereabouts is asked to contact the Coquitlam RCMP non-emergency line at 604-945-1550 or any local police department. The public can also report anonymously to Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477) or online at solvecrime.ca.
