FRESNO, Calif. — Officials are trying to find the relatives of a man who recently passed away at a Fresno hospital

The Fresno County Sheriff-Coroner's Office released an image of 67-year-old Pedro Villalta Lopez. However, few details are actually known about him. Officials have only said that he previously lived in Stockton, Calexico and Mexico.

Despite combing through numerous records, county staff members haven't been able to find his relatives.
