The victim collapsed while walking on Butler Street in Atlanta GA. He had been seen several hours prior to his death in a hospital emergency room on the ambulance ramp of that same hospital, carrying at least two matched light blue suitcases.
Security personnel made the man leave because he was acting intoxicated. An ambulance transported the man, who now had no suitcases, to the same hospital, where he died in the ER. He had collapsed on a corner of the hospital grounds. The decedent's palms and the soles of his feet were dirty; he arrived at the ER with no shoes.
Homeless people in the area and who stay at various shelters in downtown Atlanta said they knew the man but didn't know his name.
