Hamilton Police need help identifying a senior who has been in a local hospital for about a month.

The man was found in Halton in medical distress on Sept. 23 and was taken to a hospital in the region. He received treatment and was discharged on Oct. 29.

According to Hamilton Police, he was brought to a shelter in Hamilton.

“It was determined the shelter was not the best location for him and he was brought to a Hamilton hospital, where he has been ever since,” said a police news release.

Police say they have been trying to identify the man but have not been able to. They say he has no known connections to the Hamilton area but may be known within Halton or the GTA.

He responds to the name Sam and was known to frequent GO stations in Halton and Etobicoke prior to his first hospitalization.

Anyone with information is asked to call police at 905-546-2023.
