Police found him this morning after getting a tip that he was at the cafe.
"As you can see. it's very cold out here. It's not good to be out here in the elements without the proper gear. Don't know what kind of condition he is in otherwise, but the longer he's out here the more worried we get," Asst. Shelton Fire Chief Nick Verdicchio said.
Police said he has a medical condition.
Cafe workers said Luciano appeared to be OK physically. A physician is evaluating him.
