University Hospital searching for family of homeless patient

Anton Karunaratne

(SAN ANTONIO – November 20, 2008) Social workers at University Hospital need your help in finding friends and family of 55-year-old Anton Karunaratne. Social workers are hoping someone will come forward to help him return home.

Mr. Karunaratne was admitted at University Hospital on November 15 after being found by police in the downtown area. He is now ready to be discharged but doesn’t have any recollection of his current home address or the names of the relatives or friends he had probably been living with.

Without a safe place to go, University Hospital can not release him, so hospital officials are asking the community to help find his family. Mr. Karanaratne says he is a native of Sri Lanka but is not able to remember any family history.

If you recognize Mr. Karunaratne or know his family, please contact University Hospital at 358-0450.
