      Abbotsford police are seeking to identify a man who has been hospitalized and is in critical condition.

      A passerby found the man on the Discovery Trail between Charlotte Avenue and Maclure Road in Abbotsford around 8:30 p.m. on July 13, according to an Abbotsford Police Department (APD) news release issued today (July 16).

      Investigators have been unable to identify him through means such as fingerprints.

      Although the cause of his medical condition is unknown, alcohol or drugs were not present.
