Toronto police are asking for help finding a 33-year-old woman who went missing after family in Etobicoke and has a health condition that could be life-threatening without her medication.
The woman, who has only been identified as Sarah, was last seen Monday morning around 8:30 a.m. near Park Lawn Road and Berry Road in Etobicoke, walking through the Parklawn Cemetery.
She lives in the United States but has been in the city for a couple weeks visiting family, said Sgt. Scott Fowlds with the Toronto Police Service.
Her family reported her missing Monday evening when she didn’t return home and are seriously concerned for her well-being because of her health condition, Fowlds said Tuesday.
‘We are working against time,” he said.
