"Mr. X" was a man who died the day following his initial discovery in November 1979, while in Edmonton, Alberta.
Case[]
The man was transported to the Royal Alexandria Hospital after he collapsed at a Safeway store at 97th Street and 107th Avenue in Edmonton. He'd suffered a brain hemorrhage and was pronounced dead the next day.
Authorities believed he may have been a transient, but nobody knew who he was or recognized him after authorities checked in with shelters, taverns, and hostels. His fingerprints didn't match with any missing person file, meaning he most likely wasn't a criminal or veteran.
He has since been buried in plot 95 at Edmonton's Beechmont Cemetery.
