Two people found Narayan Dhakal early Friday morning in uptown, but because he was so badly beaten, it took police days to identify him.
"I found a man face down in the middle of Eighth Street," said Meredith Richi.
"He didn't look good," Nathan Kawalerski, the other person who found Dhakal's badly-beaten body, said. "He was kind of like almost snoring his own blood."

"It took us a few days to figure out who he was and that hindered the investigation a little bit," said Officer Bob Fey of the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department.
The only thing police had to go on at first was a wristband from The Forum nightclub, but Dhakal's brother, Abi Dhakal, soon started asking questions when he found that his brother was missing.
With the help of Abi Dhakal, police made identified the man three days later. Since then, for friends and family members, it has been a nonstop search for those responsible.
"This is something that our civilized society can't accept," Abi Dhakal said. "We've got to find the culprit."
On Wednesday afternoon, they went door-to-door asking questions about Dhakal, hoping for answers and a miracle.
"He's not in good health," the victim's brother said. "He's really sick and we want to see him come back again."
Dhakal remains in a coma at Carolinas Medical Center.
Police believe someone saw what happened to Narayan Dhakal. They have found his credit cards and cell phone and several people of interest have been interviewed, but so far no arrests have been made.
