“They had him on the ventilator, and they had a tube in his mouth,” Brooks, one of another four sisters, was quoted saying by CBS. She said both sisters looked at the man who had been admitted under the name of John Doe but "couldn't identify this as my brother". Brooks told CBS the confused sisters tried to contest the man was their brother but were told the Chicago Police Department (CPU) had identified him as such. The patient's condition soon started deteriorating, so the sisters - said to be rarely in touch with their brother - signed the papers to take him off life support. The US news outlet reported the hospital said the family had identified the man as their brother.
