PALM SPRINGS, Calif. (AP) -- Doctors are looking into the mystery of a Florida man who awoke speaking only Swedish, with no memory of his past, after he was found unconscious four months ago at a Southern California motel.
Michael Boatwright, 61, woke up with amnesia, calling himself Johan Ek, The Desert Sun reported.
He was found with a duffel bag of exercise clothes, a backpack and tennis rackets. He also carried four forms of identification -- a passport, a California identification card, a veteran's medical card and a Social Security card -- all of which identified him as Michael Thomas Boatwright.
Swedish public records show Boatwright lived in the Nordic country on and off between 1981 and 2003. Several Swedes on Tuesday said they knew of him as an American with a big interest in medieval history and jousting.
He has no income or insurance, further complicating his treatment at Desert Regional. And he has little money he can access -- only $180. He also has a few Chinese bank accounts but can only access one account, which holds $7, according to the newspaper.

Det är svårt att slå bra svenska skämt! (HA!)
Is there a pic of this Amnesia chick?
Sure his name ain’t Jason Bourne?
He hooked up with a Swedish girl named Amnesia?
If he woke up speaking Spanish he’d have it made. Government goodies would be his for the taking.
...ping....
Fringe episode.
I grew up in PS and still spend the winters there. 4 months ago, Palm Springs was full of gays for the “White Party”, He could very well be Johan Ek. I’m guessing things got out of hand at the Party.
Only in Palm Springs....
Actually you would be surprised...lol
I liked the Hotel California in PS better before the remodel.
Lots of detailed info on his past — looks like the poor guy was quite an interesting person.
