Vancouver Police have released a composite sketch of an unidentified man who died after being found in medical distress this spring.
They say the man was found on the grounds of the Britannia Community Centre on March 24th and died later in hospital.
The sketch is of a man who appears to be Caucasian and likely in his 30s, who was five-foot-11 and about 155 pounds with a slim build, short black hair and brown eyes.
Anyone with information is asked to contact Vancouver Police.

The incoming storm is also expected to deluge parts of Metro Vancouver, including Coquitlam and Maple Ridge, with more than 100 millimetres of rain before it eases late Sunday and the weather office says rainfall warnings are likely to be issued as the forecasts are refined.
Dental care is a pillar of the supply and confidence deal between the Liberals and the NDP. The Liberals promised to launch a federal dental care insurance program by the end of 2022, starting with coverage for children from low- and middle-income families.
