Authorities are seeking help from the public to identify a man who has been hospitalized in Los Angeles County for the past several weeks. The Latino man, believed to be in his 50s or 60s, was found unresponsive in Redondo Beach on January 18 and continues to receive care at a local hospital, officials say.
The Los Angeles County Department of Health Services and the Redondo Beach Fire Department have been working together since the individual was discovered at the intersection of Diamond Street and N. Maria Avenue. According to KTLA, the man is described as standing 5 feet 6 inches tall and weighs about 160 pounds, with brown eyes and short, gray hair, including a gray beard. He has no tattoos or other identifiable features that might aid in his identification.
With absolutely no documentation or identifying information on his person, hospital staff and county officials are at a loss. As detailed in a media alert sent out by the health department, the search for clues to the man's identity is becoming increasingly urgent as he remains under medical care without any known next of kin or point of contact.
Community members or anyone with potential information on the unidentified patient have been urged to step forward. The Harbor-UCLA Medical Center, where the man is being treated, requests that any persons who might recognize the man to contact them directly at (424) 306-6310.
