R04 – (Ont-Missing-Man)

TORONTO. x--10s. Ontario's premier says he wants to get to the bottom of how a patient detained at a mental health hospital managed to flee, calling the man a "nutcase." The Centre for Addiction and Mental Health says Zhebin Cong, who was found not criminally responsible for the death of his roommate, failed to return from an unaccompanied trip on July 3rd. Police issued a public notice nearly two weeks later, and say the hospital told them Cong presented a low risk to public safety. But a review board that assessed Cong's risk found he posed a significant threat to public safety. Premier Doug Ford called into NewsTalk1010 to say he's disgusted by the situation.

TAG: Ford told NewsTalk1010 that he will be speaking to Toronto police, the review board that assessed Cong's risk, and the hospital, because someone has "dropped the ball on this."
