If he really was around 62 years d that would place his birth year around 1858.

I wonder about the details we don't know like where was he found before going to the hospital. I don't have a newspapers.com subscription and wonder if an article would provide more info.

102 years without being identified. I hope his body can be exhumed to get his DNA and I wonder if Othram might be interested in this case.

Sadly, I wasn't able to find anything in my newspaper subscriptions. I will keep the criteria in my watch list however and post anything I might find.
