TORONTO, ON - SEPTEMBER, 26 In family photos, Dearman is seen visiting his mom Jean in Dartmouth NS. Last summer, David Dearman became a reclusive here in the Junction. Out of work, Dearman was combing the streets around Runnymede and Dundas in the wee hours of the morning for recyclables and scrap when he noticed a fire in one of the buildings. He went in and got the 8 residents out to safety and then he disappeared. He was lamenting that he couldn't afford to visit his ailing mother in Dartmouth but Star readers came to his rescue and sent him. (Richard Lautens/Toronto Star via Getty Images)
