POSTMORTEM WARNING! Slightly graphic. Blood in mouth and black eye.
I said I wouldn’t post another Doe today but here’s a bonus since I guarantee at least 1 John, 1 Jane, and 1 unsure every other day, with some bonus ones. I’m trying to get as many Does some spotlight so that they can be identified. I’m trying to get them identified as fast as possible. Doing my 2 cents, I will also do the searchy searchy matchy matchy.

On May 15, 2023, a young male was lying in the middle of the street with injuries. He was taken to Temple University Hospital where he was pronounced dead.

The decedent was Hispanic and Asian, estimated to be in his twenties, about 5’6” (168 cm) and about 145 pounds (66 kg).

He had dark brown hair, curly and about 6 inches long and brown eyes.

He has no tattoos.

Poor young man. I wonder if he was a hit-and-run victim or harmed and pushed from a vehicle. I hope the perpetrator(s) will be caught.

or beaten. or even shot. poor guy.

or beaten. or even shot. poor guy.

I suspect foul play due to what looks like some obvious beating on his face. Could just be he’s scuffed up from an accident though.

People who've been beaten to death don't look that good. That black eye looks old to me. The blood in the mouth makes me think he died due to internal injuries - or aspirated on blood from internal injuries. Seems like hit by a car to me, I expect he'll be identified soon once he's definitively missed by someone.

Now that I look at it again it does look like a hit and run accident or a ped hit by a car while crossing.

The ZIP code indicated is heavily Hispanic.

So he‘s likely a local based on this, I assume.

I would say not to put too much weight into the blood visible in his mouth with respect to COD. Since he was brought to hospital they likely attempted resus efforts including CPR, intubation, etc. Coughing post-CPR (if they ever got ROSC and then lost it later) or scratching his throat/knocking out a tooth with the ET tube (which is not ideal but does happen) could also bring blood into his mouth.

yeah someone told me that ET training dummies have teeth that flip back or snap off because if you do enough intubations you will knock some teeth out.

The solace in this situation, of course, being that if I need to be tubed I'll have bigger things to worry about than teeth.

So you’re thinking since he was found in the middle of the street unresponsive the blood in his mouth is possibly from life saving measures? I was thinking if he got hit by a car he was coughing up blood as a result of his injuries. I can see both being the case, I definitely have bigger problems than a tooth or two being knocked out if I’m being tubed.

oh, I'm totally not sure. I was just supporting bombardier's statement that the blood might be misleading.
