L.A. hospital looking to identify unresponsive patient

A Los Angeles hospital is asking for the public’s help to identify an unresponsive man who has been receiving care for the last several days.

The unidentified man was found early Sunday morning, and was brought to California Hospital Medical Center in downtown L.A. for treatment.

Hospital staff said he was located around 2 a.m. near the intersection of West 18th Street and St. Andrews Place in Harvard Heights.

Days after he was brought to the hospital, his identity is still a mystery as he remains unconscious and was not carrying any documentation or evidence that could shed light on who he is.

He’s described as a Black man in his early 30s with black hair and brown eyes. He’s approximately 5 feet 10 inches, and weighs around 170 pounds, hospital officials said.

In addition to the physical description, he also has several notable tattoos across his body, including the letters “FIG” on his left inner arm, and what appears to be “Chief Wahoo,” the former mascot of the Cleveland Indians, tattooed on his forehead and chest.

Due to patient confidentiality laws, the hospital did not disclose the nature of his injuries or his current condition. Photos shared by Dignity Health showed the man unconscious and hooked up to a breathing apparatus.

Anyone with information that might help hospital staff identify him or any potential loved ones is urged to call 213-507-5495 or 213-742-5511.
