THE Northmoor section of the Dartmoor Rescue Group, based in Okehampton, were called out last week to aid in the search for a depressed man who had gone missing near Sidmouth.
Twenty members of the group were called in by police on Thursday night to help in the search for the missing 35-year-old man.
The man was located in a collapsed state at 11pm in woodland about a mile from his home and with the help of the police helicopter was taken to hospital in Exeter.
The evacuation was unable to take place until the area had been cleared of a herd of cows.
