Officials at Grady Memorial Hospital are trying to reunite two hospitalized men with their loved ones after asking for the public’s help to identify them.
One of the John Does, a developmentally disabled man who’d been in hospital care since Jan. 6 after being found in an abandoned house in northwest Atlanta, was identified Tuesday, according to officials. The other has still not been identified.
The man is a critically ill patient who was admitted Feb. 7. Officials said he was found on the side of the road near Murphy and Avon avenues in southwest Atlanta.
The patient, who appears to be in his 60s, is described as 5-foot-10 and 190 pounds with a black-and-gray beard and hair. He has old burn scars on his left arm and leg, hospital officials said.
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution is not publishing photos of the unidentified patient because his injuries were too severe to display.
Anyone who has information about his identity is asked to call Grady’s social services department at 404-616-5331.
