Los Angeles General Medical Center is calling upon the community and the media to assist in a pressing matter: identifying a young man, who is currently under their care, after he was admitted on December 26th, 2025. The man, who is referred to as John Doe to protect his anonymity, was found near the Los Angeles area with no identification on him.
Described as approximately 20 years old, 5'6" in height, and weighing around 170 pounds, John Doe has dark brown hair and brown eyes. The hospital has not released any further details about the circumstances under which he was found, but it has provided contact information for those who may recognize him or possess any relevant details about his identity. With the hope clinging that someone, somewhere, can identify him, the hospital is in a race against time.
In a statement obtained by a local news bulletin, Clinical Social Worker Laura Ramos from Los Angeles General Medical Center's Social Work Department has made a plea for information. Anyone with potential leads is encouraged to contact her directly at 323-409-7779 during business hours from Monday to Friday, 8:00 AM to 4:30 PM. The hospital's Department of Social Work has also set up a dedicated line for this case at 323-409-5253.
Realizing that pivotal information may surface after hours, the hospital's Department of Emergency Medicine, Social Work Department has readied itself for inquiries outside of the usual hours (5:00 PM - 8:00 AM) at 323-409-6883. Additionally, over the weekend, an on-call service is available between 8:00 AM and 5:00 PM, which can be reached at 323-409-5254. Crucial details could emerge at a moment's notice, necessitating these extended contact options.
Further information, along with a bulletin published on the subject, can be found on the Los Angeles County Government's official website at this link. The hospital and the community at large are hoping for a swift resolution to this case, with the ultimate goal of reunifying John Doe with his family or guardians.
