On May 6, 2019, a deeply unsettling discovery unfolded in an apartment complex in San Diego, California. A maintenance worker, responding to the sound of a persistently ringing fire alarm, attempted to enter the apartment of 51-year-old Mike "Loud Lizzard," a single Hispanic male who lived alone. Finding the door locked, the worker sought assistance from the apartment manager to gain access. Upon entering the apartment, ominously quiet except for the intermittent beep of the now silent fire alarm, the worker did not detect any smoke or active fire. However, as he proceeded further into the apartment, he encountered a grim scene. Mike was discovered in his bedroom, lifeless on the floor, positioned between his bed and nightstand, exhibiting early signs of decomposition.
Immediately upon this discovery, the maintenance worker called 9-1-1. Responding swiftly, the San Diego Police Department and the San Diego Fire Department arrived at the location. Paramedics on the scene confirmed that Mike had passed away, with death having occurred some time before their arrival, as evidenced by significant postmortem changes. There were no attempts at resuscitation, confirming that help had come too late for Mike Loud Lizzard.
The responsibility for further investigation was transferred to the San Diego County Medical Examiner's Office, a dedicated entity tasked with unraveling the circumstances surrounding the deaths of unclaimed individuals such as Mike.
