He was wearing a black coat, jeans and sneakers. His phone has been inactive since around 11:30 a.m. on the day he went missing, the website said. Police said he is endangered because he requires medication and has not taken it.

Family members and friends have been spreading fliers throughout Philadelphia and recently expanded their search to include parts of Montgomery and Delaware Counties. Searches are also spreading posters throughout Trenton and Camden, particularly near train stations, the www.helpfindtully.com website said.
