The Los Angeles County Department of Health Services is asking for the public’s help to identify a patient who was found more than a week ago right outside an L.A. area hospital.

The unidentified man has been receiving treatment at Los Angeles General Medical Center in Boyle Heights since July 15, when he was found in front of the medical facility.

The man does not have any identifying information on his person and hospital staff are hoping someone might recognize him.

He’s believed to be about 60 years old, and hospital officials described him as “thin/frail,” standing at 5 feet 10 inches and weighing about 155 pounds. He has brown eyes, as well as long brown hair and a brown beard, both of which were recently dyed.

Due to patient confidentiality laws, information about the man’s condition was not released.

Anyone with information about the man’s identity is urged to contact LA General clinical social workers Nicole Crayon at 323-409-3877 or Jessica Barahona 323-409-3758.
