After news reports and a photo of a man found unconscious on a Southwest Philadelphia street corner surfaced over the weekend, police say the man's family reached out to them on Sunday and identified him.
A passerby found the man lying unconscious at 62nd Street and Grays Avenue around 2 a.m. The man was taken to the Penn-Presbyterian Medical Center by medics and remained there on life support.
Police and hospital staff had difficulty identifying the man and turned to the public for help. Police sent a photo of the man to news outlets Saturday, asking for help identifying him.
By Sunday afternoon, police said the man's family saw the news reports and reached out to them, identifying him as a family member. His name has not been released.
