An elderly Florida man who went missing in Orange County was found alive by deputies in a retention pond, and the rescue was captured on body camera video.
Daniel Waterhouse, 81, was reported missing on June 30 and his family was concerned for his well-being because he left his home without taking his medication.
Waterhouse was located the following day by Deputy Steven Jones laying in a retention pond in west Orange County.
A video released by the Orange County Sheriff’s Office shows Deputy Jones pulling Waterhouse out of the water and asking his name. The man says his name is Daniel.
“We’ve been looking for you, buddy,” the deputy is heard telling Waterhouse.
Orange County Fire Rescue soon arrived and took Waterhouse to the hospital. At last check, the sheriff’s office says that Waterhouse is recovering.
