The identity of an elderly woman who was left at Nambour Hospital in early September has been uncovered.
Police have confirmed public assistance is no longer required in identifying the woman, who is still being treated at Sunshine Coast University Hospital since September 6.
The woman was taken to the hospital after a man located her in a frail state walking along Brandenburg Road in Mooloolah Valley and offered her assistance.
The woman recently began speaking with police and has clearly indicated she is aware of her identity and does not wish to disclose this information for personal reasons.
For this reason, police are requesting the public respect the woman’s privacy as per her request.
As no criminality has been detected, police have ceased involvement in this matter and the woman will be left in the care of Queensland Health.
