Public's help sought in identifying body
ROWLAND HEIGHTS -- Coroner's officials asked for the public's help Wednesday in identifying a transient who died shortly after he was found unconscious on a Rowland Heights street last month.
The man, currently listed as John Doe 100, was found about 11:25 p.m. June 21 in front of 1025 S. Nogales Street, Los Angeles County Department of Coroner's Chief of Operations Craig Harvey said.
The cause of death was not available Wednesday pending further examination, coroner's Lt. Jerry McKibben said, however the death was initially believed to be natural.
The man was taken to Pomona Valley Hospital where he died just over an hour later, Harvey said.
The body is described as that of a Latino man estimated to be in his mid-50s, standing about 5 feet 3 inches tall and weighing about 130 pounds, officials said. There were no scars or tattoos.
He had brown hair, brown eyes and had a mustache and beard. He was wearing several bracelets and bands, as well as a women's watch.
Other transients in the area knew by the names "Ciriaco" and "Tio."
Anyone with information is asked to call coroner's Investigator Daniel Machian at (323) 343-0754.
