South Carolina man with dementia goes missing in Mexico

 April 8, 2024

Mexican authorities are still looking for 66-year-old Edmond Bradley Solomon III who went missing on Wednesday in Cozumel, Mexico.

Solomon was traveling on a Royal Caribbean cruise with his wife which was stopped in Cozumel.

He has been diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia and it appears that he became confused and wandered off and was last seen by a taxi driver who transported Solomon to a beach.

Solomon's daughter Savannah Miller told WCBD, "When my stepmom, Mimi, came out, he wasn’t there. She thought he might still be in the bathroom, so she waited for him for a few minutes. He didn’t come out."

From that point, the search was on, and authorities dedicated significant resources to finding Solomon, including the use of local troops.

Those who want to help the family can contribute to a GoFundMe page that Solomon's family set up.
