Rhode Island authorities locate deceased man near fiery vehicle owned by missing 93-year old

Rhode Island authorities have located a deceased man near the vehicle owned by a missing 93-year-old.

While actively searching for missing 93-year-old Cumberland resident, Frederick Mumford, late last night members of the Cumberland Police Department were able to triangulate a possible location for Mumford and his vehicle in Hopkinton, Rhode Island.

Local responding units were able to locate Mumford’s vehicle, the same truck referenced in the Silver Alert; however, it was discovered actively engulfed in flames. Additionally, a deceased subject was also located outside of the vehicle as well. The positive identification of that individual is currently underway, yet undetermined at this time.

The Rhode Island State Police responded to the scene and is now handling the investigation of the burned vehicle and adjacent victim. Cumberland Police Detectives are assisting and have been actively following up other components of the investigation and search.
