On March 11, 2021, the San Diego County Medical Examiner's Office was notified of a body found at the residence of Robert James Fernandes, an unclaimed individual in San Diego, California. The deceased, a 74-year-old male, lived alone in San Diego and had not been in contact with anyone for several weeks. His absence prompted a concerned friend to reach out to the San Diego Police Department.

Given the state of the remains, it was evident that decomposition had set in, suggesting that he had passed away some time before he was found.
