The elderly Cuban man, Iván Luis López Sera, who had been reported missing for over a week in Holguín, has been found alive, though he has yet to be brought back home.
Journalist Jesús Arencibia Lorenzo shared the news on his Facebook page, announcing that López Sera, affectionately known as "Cañón," is safe and unharmed. "He hasn't been rescued by his sister yet, but it reassures us to know that nothing tragic has happened to him. His mind isn't quite right, and he's taken to spending some time on the streets of Holguín," revealed internet user Zoila Nieves Molina Pupo. "If you see him, please help," she urged.
Cañón, aged 76, left his home without any identification over a week ago. His family describes him as "a tanned, short man with vitiligo, a limp in his left leg, a depressed scar on his left thigh, and a right inguinal hernia." Anyone with information or who sees him is asked to call 53390960.
Actor Nevalis Quintana Fernández recalled being friends with Cañón from the gatherings of the now-defunct section Tecla Ocurrente of the newspaper Juventud Rebelde. "A wandering 'Teclero,' humorous and rustic, a walking sprite of plains and mountains, with an enormous heart, in recent times he has suffered the wear and tear and illnesses of his 76 years," he remarked in an emotional Facebook post. He added that the elderly man always carried a "wooden suitcase full of magical illusions," and wrote that family and friends had been desperately searching for him.
