Unidentified male checked into Mercy Hospital, Scranton, on November 22 and died on November 30 of natural causes/leukemia.

He did not give an address, SSN, insurance information, or contact information for family or friends. Authorities were unable to track him to any busses coming from the Boston area and were also unable to locate any taxi services that provided the man transportation to the hospital.
