A 90-year-old Saudi man who vanished just after he drove out of his house in the Gulf Kingdom nearly a month ago was found dead of thirst after his car got stuck in an isolated desert area, a newspaper reported on Wednesday.
Salim bin Mohammed Al Qahtani had told his family he would go for a little ride in the central town of Quwaiya but he never returned to his village.
His family reported him missing to the police, who have mounted an extensive helicopter-backed search operation since he disappeared 27 days ago.
“He was found dead in his car yesterday after it apparently got stuck in the sand and he could not walk back…police said he died of thirst and his body has already started to decompose,” Sabq Arabic language daily said.
