A middle-aged man who had been living on the 1300 block of F Street NW was found unresponsive among his belongings early in the morning of July 9. According to the police report, he was transported to The George Washington University Hospital with attempts at CPR ongoing, and further life-saving measures attempted upon arrival. The man was declared dead at the hospital.
Sources from multiple businesses located between 13th and 14th Streets NW reported seeing the man daily since approximately August 2017. A small community memorial of candles, flowers and balloons was started that evening in the place where he used to rest.
The man was identified several days later, according to sources in the homeless services provider community. His name is being withheld until his family has been notified, according to the Metropolitan Police Department.
