Missing Princeton senior’s body found in Community Park North
Police in Princeton on Thursday discovered the body of a 67-year-old resident who had gone missing.
After a search that involved helicopters and multiple agencies, the body of Jeffrey Bossart was discovered at Community Park North. Bossart, who had been distressed, left his house in the Bayard Lane area on foot at about 11 p.m. on Tuesday night and never returned. He said he was going out to take a walk.
There was no foul play involved in his death. An autopsy is still pending.

Pretty discouraging length of time to elapse when you consider what a hub (dog walkers, Emergency Services, Municipal building, swimming pool) Community Park North is.
