PHOENIX — A Silver Alert was canceled Saturday morning after a 79-year-old man who went missing in Gilbert on Friday was found safe.

Santokh “Sam” Singh left his home near Warner and Lindsay roads at about 7:45 a.m. and didn’t return for some time.

Singh, who is new to the area and doesn’t know his way around, suffers from cognitive health conditions that cause him to be lost and confused easily.

Singh had last been seen wearing light blue jeans, a long-sleeved white button up and a black cross-body bag. He did not have his phone with him when he left.
