Overview
- The LKA missing-persons unit released photos Friday to identify an unknown man who called himself "Ben."
- He was taken to Park-Klinik Weißensee in late February 2026 and died there in mid-March without a confirmed identity.
- Witnesses told police he said he was 63, had lived for years without housing in Weißensee, and spent time near Alter Friedhof Weißensee, Bernkasteler Straße, Neumagener Straße, Falkenberger Straße and Buschallee.
- According to those accounts, he said he lost his wife and children in a crash caused by an apparently drunk truck driver in Brandenburg, which police have not verified.
- This kind of public appeal is standard when someone dies without papers, and tips can go to (030) 4664-912444, LKA124Hinweise@polizei.berlin.de, any police station, or Berlin’s Internetwache portal.
