A hospital in Los Angeles is asking the public for help Thursday in identifying a 78-year-old man who arrived nearly two weeks ago.

The unidentified patient has been hospitalized at Los Angeles General Medical Center since Sept. 13, 2024, according to L.A. County’s Department of Health Services.

No details about why the man was hospitalized were provided but the Department of Health Services did provide a photo of the man they referred to as John Doe.

He was listed as 5 feet 9 inches tall and weighs 224 pounds with a medium build. He has white hair and light brown eyes.

Anyone with information about the man’s identity was asked to contact the Medical Center’s social work department at 323-409-7672 between 8 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. After-hours information can also be provided at 323-409-6883.
