An 81-year-old Bluffton man reported missing and endangered on Thursday has been found unharmed, according to a news release from the Beaufort County Sheriff’s Office.

The man’s family had been worried after he didn’t return to his Rose Hill Plantation home on Thursday, an earlier alert from the Beaufort County Sheriff’s Office said.

James Quigley had last been seen at Palmetto State Bank in Bluffton late Thursday morning.

Quigley was found late Thursday night “in another jurisdiction in South Carolina,” according to the Sheriff’s Office.

A 75-year-old man was missing for for more than 24-hours on Hilton Head Island in June. He was found dehydrated and suffering from exposure in a thick, wooded area of Hilton Head Plantation.
