The Los Angeles General Medical Center is reaching out to the public for assistance in a somewhat unusual and urgent request. The hospital is attempting to identify a male patient, known only as John Doe, who has been under their care since July 24. Hospital officials are hoping that through the help of the media and concerned citizens, they can locate the man's family or anyone who might know him. John Doe, believed to be roughly 50 years old, was found on the streets near 7th and Kohler Street and is described as having a large build, standing 5'9'' tall, and weighing approximately 276 lbs, as reported by the County of Los Angeles, California. With balding hair and brown eyes, his identity remains a mystery.
Details surrounding the circumstances of how or why John Doe was found on the street have not been disclosed by the hospital. However, hospital staff are earnestly trying to fully reconnect him with his loved ones. Nicole Crayon, a Clinical Social Worker at the Los Angeles General Medical Center, along with her colleague Jessica Barahona, are the two individuals to contact with any potentially helpful information.
A bulletin containing this information about the John Doe case was published on the Los Angeles County website, found here. In it, the unidentified man's description is carefully detailed, and the public is asked to aid in the search for anyone who might identify him. Those who believe they might have relevant information to John Doe's case are encouraged to contact either Nicole Crayon at 323-409-3877 or Jessica Barahona at 323-409-3758.
