Madera suffers from dementia and lives alone in the first floor apartment on Mt. Hope, on Walton Ave. near E. 176th St., a neighbor told the Daily News.
A health helper at home helps him during the day, and his sister will visit to check on him, said the neighbor.
He left his apartment right before 8 pm Saturday wore a fur jacket and sandals and never returned, police said. Family members called 911 to report he was missing, but when the police found him, it was too late.
Although the medical examiner will determine the cause of his death, police believe he froze to death, said the source.
"She has a housekeeper until 4 pm," said her neighbor, Curt Johnson. "After that he went to buy groceries and disappeared."
Johnson said he was lost once before during the summer, and was found in Harlem, near St. 125th.
"He has sisters in and out, but they can't get a 24-hour maid," Johnson said. "She's a good woman, but she doesn't speak English and she has dementia. She can't ask for help."
