On January 16, 2025, in San Diego, California, the body of Steven Leroy Coon was discovered, marking the beginning of a case that remains unresolved. His neighbor last saw Mr. Coon alive two days prior, on January 14. On January 16, the neighbor noticed something amiss when she found Mr. Coon’s front door propped open, which was unusual.

The San Diego Police responded swiftly to the welfare check request. Upon arrival, they found the door unlocked and entered the premises. In the bathroom, authorities discovered Mr. Coon unresponsive. Due to evident postmortem changes, they confirmed his death without the need for further medical intervention.
