Unidentified Person Case

Graphic photos at both links of face.

I’m guessing date found versus deceased date is the length of time he was in the hospital.

“Circumstances of RecoveryThe deceased male individual was struck by a motor vehicle while riding his bike on 08/22/2017. He was taken to Memorial Hermann Hospital Southwest, where he passed away on 09/06/2017.”

He seems to have been fairly well dressed but without seeing it it’s hard to tell if it was second hand. The Hilfiger jeans in particular stand out to me, even if they were cut into shorts.
“Gray polyester shirt, size Large, brand BLUE Pronto Uomo. Camo hat in tan and orange/brown, brand Credenz. Blue denim cut-off shorts from jeans size 34/34, brand Hilfiger Brand Denim, style is Heritage Bootcut. Black Hanes underwear size medium.”

Quick search on “Chela” says it means beer but also looks like it could be a name, not positive on that though.

Not good at uploading pics from my phone.

my husband and I just took a bunch of his clothes to the nearby donation box. a homeless guy on a bike rode up and asked if he could have some clothes, so we gave him some. he would be nicely dressed after that.

Chela is also a nickname for Graciela.

Poor guy :(

A quick scan of Namus shows no new/recently added candidates that might be this UID (who has some very distinctive facial features). At 220lb he was a largish man for someone only 5'7" tall, so that also helps narrow down the possibilities. As an offshore Namus user I can't have an account to see who, if anyone, has been ruled out.

I assume "Chela" is someone's name- Either his wife/girlfriend/ex or a daughter. I've only met one person with that name, I'm not sure if it was her given name or a nickname for Graciela in her case.
