On January 11, 2018, the body of a 48-year-old Hispanic male named Miguel Rodriguez was discovered at the County of San Diego Health and Human Services Agency’s Public Health Center in Chula Vista, California. Rodriguez, who led a transient lifestyle, was found unresponsive in the bathroom of the facility. The staff immediately called 9-1-1, and they began performing cardiopulmonary resuscitation in an effort to save his life. Despite their prompt actions, the emergency personnel who arrived at the scene were unable to revive him, and he was pronounced dead at the location.
