An East Gwillimbury man who has been missing since Tuesday was spotted by a taxi driver in Toronto.

Rocco Morra, who has schizophrenia, reportedly took a cab from Cherry Beach to Kingston and Brimley roads on Thursday.

Morra told the cab driver his name was Albert Toma, a name his family says he often uses. The driver later recognized Morra on the news and called police.

Morra, 64, lives in an assisted-living home in East Gwillimbury. He has been without his medications since his disappearance.
