"The older man, sick and with senility pathologies, escaped from the house in 2018 to his son Yulioski Ortiz Rodríguez, who is the father of Geidy Beatriz Ortiz Escalona. Since then they did not know about him and it is logical, the old man From what we were able to know, he moved a lot, from Camagüey where they live, making all the journeys and journeys described," he explained.

According to the post, at this time the authorities are putting the man's granddaughter in contact with the social worker who cares for him at the hospital where he is admitted.

The man appeared on February 29 outside a building and thanks to the attitude of its residents he will now be able to return home.

They first thought that he was a drunk, but when they approached and found that he did not have alcohol on his breath, they tried to revive him, they gave him water, coffee and tea, in case he had hypoglycemia, but since he did not respond, they decided to call the authorities.

After being rescued, he was admitted to the ICU of the Gustavo Aldereguía Hospital in Cienfuegos, in critical condition.

Seven days later, "Las Cosas de Fernanda" released new photos in which the old man was seen while receiving health care at the institution.

"His relatives may be looking for him and be desperate. Due to his medical condition, it is not known how he arrived in Cienfuegos, nor his mental condition," said the post shared last Thursday.

"We ask everyone to make this publication visible in order to help find the relatives of the sick man. Although we have information that he has been seen in areas of the city sleeping in doorways, which makes us draw the hypothesis that has been away from his home for a long time, that does not stop the family from knowing that the poor man is sick and fighting for his life," he added.
