One of the two men found on a wilderness trail after going missing from Bangor was treated for frostbite in Massachusetts. Constance Hoyt told the Portland Press Herald on Thursday that her husband Sidney Hoyt, 77, was brought to a Boston for frostbite treatment and might need to have toes or part of his foot amputated. Sidney Hoyt and 75-year-old Gary Foster had been last seen Tuesday morning when they left the Maine Veterans’ Homes facility in Bangor for a ride on the Stud Mill Road. On Wednesday evening the owners of a blueberry farm in Township 32 heard shouting and called 911. A game warden who was nearby searching found the men’s vehicle with Foster inside. The warden found Hoyt about a half-mile up a path. Both men were hypothermic.
