As part of Missing Persons Week 2023, Sydney detectives have reopened a nearly two-decade-old case, seeking public assistance to identify a man who died mysteriously at St Vincent’s Hospital.

On the night of 12 September 2004, an unidentified man suffering from stomach pain was rushed to St Vincent’s Hospital in Sydney, where he passed away shortly after.

Despite extensive inquiries, the man, described as being of Asian appearance, in his 50s, with short, dark greying hair, glasses, and a goatee, has not matched any current missing persons reports.

Police are now issuing a COMFIT image to aid their attempts to identify him.

Anyone with information about this incident is urged to contact Crime Stoppers: 1800 333 000 or https://nsw.crimestoppers.com.au. Information is treated in strict confidence. The public is reminded not to report information via NSW Police social media pages.
