Hospital seeking identity of man found in South Los Angeles

A Los Angeles County hospital is asking for the public’s help to identify a patient who was found nearly a month ago in South L.A.

St. Francis Medical Center in Lynwood says the man was found on April 15 on East 96th Street in the Florence-Graham area.

The patient, hospital officials said, is unable to communicate his name or other information that would help identify him.

He’s described as a white man in his mid-60s with gray hair and blue eyes. He’s about 6-foot-1 and weighs around 125 pounds, the hospital said.

Due to patient confidentiality laws, the hospital did not disclose any information about the man’s condition.

Anyone who recognizes him is urged to contact the St. Francis Medical Center Social Services Office at 310-900-8630 and provide patient reference number 11. After hours and weekend calls can be made to 310-900-7993.
