Anyone Remember the Torso Man?

[MindMe]

Back in the early 1990s, along Yonge just south of College (where they're building those new Aura condos), there used to be a guy with no arms or legs. He was pretty much a torso + a head and he'd sit behind a change bowl and say hi to people passing by. Pretty much no one I talk to ever remembers this guy. Anyone remember him? Anyone know what happened to him?

What did he look like? There's a guy like that in Montreal who hangs out at Guy-Concordia. Very thin, malodorous, long greasy brown hair, and a beard.

If he's missing all 4 limbs, that is a pretty accurate description of him. But then I'd imagine any torso guy sitting on the street all day would match that description. He'd have to be 50+ by now. He looked 30 in, say, 1992.

I remember him, don't know where he went.

Now that I think about it, he may have one arm. I'll find out.
