Werner Norbert Schindler, a 66-year-old White male, was discovered deceased in his residence in Santee, California, on March 20, 2020. His body was reported under the NamUs ID UCP67842. Details regarding his marital status remain unknown. Schindler resided in a home in Santee, where he was facing an eviction set to take effect on March 18, 2020. This unfortunate discovery was made just days after the scheduled eviction, highlighting the challenging circumstances he faced prior to his death.
On the afternoon of March 20, 2020, Schindler's landlord arrived at his residence to perform a welfare check. Despite knocking on the front door, there was no response from within. Concerned, the landlord peered through a window and saw Schindler unresponsive in bed. Promptly reacting to the situation, the landlord called 911. The Fire Department responded quickly but could only confirm that Schindler was deceased upon their arrival.
