The man with no memory: Navy vet wakes up, speaks only Swedish

When doctors told him he had five tennis rackets in his hotel room, he couldn’t say why.

When they showed him photos of himself with others, he didn’t recognize them, or himself.

And he didn’t speak a word of English.

The man said his name was Johan Ek.

And he said it in Swedish.

That was back in February.

Today, the 61-year-old man says he has come to terms with the name “Michael Boatwright,” but only because doctors told him he should.

He still feels like Johan Ek from Sweden.

And he can’t explain why.
