Remains of missing grandfather Albert Smith discovered

Police have located the remains of an elderly Victorian grandfather last seen at an aged care facility in October 2018.

The remains of Albert Smith, 88, were located yesterday in bushland just off Yendon-Egerton Road, Mount Egerton at about 9.30am.

The circumstances of his death are not being treated as suspicious after the grandfather walked out of the Ballan Aged Care facility, north west of Melbourne on October 8 about 7.30 am and was never seen again.

He did not have a history of dementia.  

Police will prepare a report for the coroner.
