HAPPENING NOW: Body Found in Canal Where Missing Man's Car Was Found

4/8/19, 5:40 p.m.

TCSO Detectives are on-scene of a body found in a canal in the area of Road 36 and Avenue 184 in Tulare.

This is about a mile away from where a vehicle was found last Wednesday that belonged to 84-year-old Francisco Candelario, an At-Risk Missing Elderly Man, from Torrance. Candelario suffers from Dementia. 

Tulare County Sheriff’s Office Search and Rescue Divers, as well as the Sheriff’s aircraft “Tribute” and TCSO personnel have been searching the area for the last several days looking for Mr. Candelario. 

The identity and cause of death will not be released until an autopsy is completed tomorrow.
