Tourist hunts for his own past
BY STEVE BIRD AND LAURA PEEK
A YORKSHIRE accent and a passion for sonnets and cups of tea are among
the few clues to a mystery man's identity.
After being mugged while backpacking in Toronto 18 months ago, the man
claims that he lost his memory. He cannot leave Canada because he does
not have a passport or birth certificate and is unable to persuade a
foreign embassy to help him until he can prove his nationality. An
international appeal was made yesterday to find anyone who may hold
the key to his past.
He has been given the name of Philip Staufen because he blurted that
out while unconscious. It has not been confirmed that it is his real
name. It has also been discovered that he is a vegetarian who likes
classical music and understands Italian, French and Latin. Speaking
from Vancouver, where he lives in sheltered accommodation, Mr Staufen
said that he felt like a prisoner whose life had become senseless.
"My situation has left me prey to too many abuses and humiliations,"
he said. "I have found myself having to live on the streets or with
violent and vulgar people. I spend a lot of time in the public library
reading sonnets."
Mr Staufen, in his mid 20s, woke up in a Toronto hospital in November
1999 after being in a coma for several days. He was initially unable
to walk or talk. Canadian police believe that he was travelling in the
country when he was attacked and robbed of his belongings. As his
faculties slowly returned it appeared that he may have suffered
post-concussion global amnesia.
Manuel Azevedo, part of Mr Staufen's legal team, said that his accent
was "public school-sounding" with a hint of Yorkshire. "He says
jumpers instead of sweater and pavement instead of sidewalk," he
added. "He could have come from a wealthy English family. He clearly
had a very good education."
Anyone with information about Mr Staufen should call the National
Missing Persons Helpline on 0500 700700.
