December 27, 200520 yr NEW YORK, Dec. 26 (UPI) -- New York police are trying to identify a crime victim who died after nine years in a coma. Otherwise he will be buried in a potter's field. Police are urging anyone who might know him to come forward, the New York Post said. Known only as Henry, the man was savagely beaten in The Bronx near Yankee Stadium in July 1996. Police ruled his death in October a homicide but have little to go on. They aren't even sure if Henry is his real first name. He was black, 26 years old, 5-foot-7 and 165 pounds. He was wearing a burgundy, blue and green vertical-striped shirt, red pants and beige and white Adidas sneakers.
