Coquitlam RCMP are on the lookout for a patient they say failed to return to the psychiatric hospital at Colony Farm.  

Adam Yvan Gorges was reported missing from the Coquitlam Forensic Psychiatric Hospital on Friday evening and is wanted on a Canada-wide warrant for being unlawfully at large. 

The Mounties say Gorges may behave in a way that presents a risk to himself or the public, and ask anyone who sees him to stay back and call 911. 

For those with information about Gorges whereabouts, you can also call Coquitlam RCMP’s non-emergency number at 604-945-1550. 

Gorges has long brown hair with hazel eyes, a moustache and beard. He comes in at five feet ten inches tall (155 cm) and 174 lbs (79kg), according to police.

This is at least the second time Gorges has escaped the psychiatric hospital since he was admitted. In June, he went missing for about five days when he failed to return to the hospital while on a day pass.
