why did there need to be so much police involvement and 4 police helicopters? there must have been something else to do with him because sending up 4 police helicopters must of cost thousands of pounds

I presume Ollie has not read the story correctly - it quite clearly states this man has Parkinsons. Perhaps Ollie is merely ignorant as to what that means.
Hopefully Ollie has been lucky enough not to encounter this disease with any of his loved ones. Otherwise, one presumes he would understand that leaving a Parkinsons sufferer out on their own for over 24 hours could potentially be very dangerous for them. Ollie, I am sure the family appreciate your constructive comments.
