Injured patient's identity a mystery after 1 week in Los Angeles hospital
Health officials asked the public for help Thursday in identifying a man who's been hospitalized for a week after being found with a facial injury in the Lincoln Heights neighborhood of Los Angeles.
The patient was brought to Los Angeles General Medical Center on March 19 but staff members have been unable to locate any friends or family that can identify him.
The man believed to be in his early to late 60s was found in the 2300 block of Pasadena Avenue with apparent facial trauma.
He was described as possibly Hispanic with a small cross tattoo on his left forearm and a small star tattoo on his left bicep.
The patient is 5 feet 5 inches tall and weighs about 120 pounds with salt and pepper-colored curly hair and dark brown eyes.
Anyone with information was asked to contact Clinical Social Worker Jonathan Evanculla at 323-409-3859 between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. Monday through Thursday. Calls can also be directed to the L.A. General Medical Center Department of Social Work at 323-409-5253.

Why does humidity make hot days feel worse?
(WHTM) — Everybody knows, it's the humidity that gets you. But why is that? Humidity, which is a measure of the air's water vapor content, is no stranger in the Midstate. It feels sticky, heavy and — on the hottest days — suffocating. Close Thanks for signing up! Watch for us in your inbox. Subscribe Now This is because high humidity blocks an important function for the human body: sweating. The body's natural way of cooling itself off is, of course, sweating. When sweat evaporates, it reduces the body's temperature. But the National Weather Service says this cannot happen when humidity is high. When the atmospheric moisture content increases, the service said, the rate of evaporation off the body decreases. 'In other words, the human body feels warmer in humid conditions,' the service said. Forecasters measure this effect with the heat index. It's a blend of the air temperature and relative humidity percentage, and it shows what the temperature outside actually feels like to the human body. So, it's not just the humidity that gets you. abc27 Weather: Harrisburg Weather, Current Conditions & Forecasts Extreme heat is when heat and humidity with temperatures higher than 90 degrees Fahrenheit lasts for at least two to three days, according to Ready PA. Extreme heat is responsible for the most weather-related deaths each year, the agency said. So, it recommends taking some precautions: Drink water to stay hydrated Take cool showers or baths Dress in loose-fitting fitting, lightweight and light-colored clothing Stay indoors and limit exposure to the sun Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.
