Il-Chicago, WhtMale 70-80 Found sitting between two cars with two bags of groceries in arms. Feb 1993

[kforbes862]

I came across this unidentified man looking for matches for another missing person. He was found on 02/23/1993 deceased sitting between 2 cars with bags of groceries that he had been carrying under his arms. I looked at weather reports for Chicago on that date and it looks like the high temperature was around 5 degrees. He was dressed for the cold in multiple layers including a brown leather jacket, dark blue jean jacket, quilted tan jacket, plaid shirt, blue jeans, green sweatshirt, white t-shirt, boxer shorts, brown socks. He was 5'3", 122 lbs, with gray hair and a sparse beard. I can't help but think he had walked to the grocery store to purchase his groceries and either succumbed to the cold or had another medical event and sat down between the 2 cars. It seems Pmi was hours at most.

Warning, there is a post mortem photo on his namus page, not graphic.

This is so sad. I am leaning towards him having a medical episode given that he was seated between two cars and seemed warmly dressed. It’s a shame he had all of those clothes on but no ID or wallet to help us identify him. Maybe he paid cash for the groceries but it doesn’t say any was found with him. Maybe someone else paid or the bill worked out to be exactly the amount of cash he had, but what are the chances of that though?

Very little information.... I wonder if he purchased the groceries at a store, it was it a food pantry he may have visited? No mention of a receipt to indicate where he might have purchased the groceries.

Maybe the first person who discovered him didn't report it, but stole his wallet instead. MOO
