Three homeless people have died in the Sherman Oaks area in a week, according to a local business owner, who believes the city should be doing more to avoid such deaths.
The most recent death occurred early Thursday morning near Moorpark Street and Van Nuys Boulevard.
"We've had three bodies in a week and a half, two right here, three dead people," she said. "It's not about politics. This is about human lives."One paramedic told ABC7 she used to walk around, pretending she had a phone in her hand and frequented the area. One man said the victim didn't look well but claims she wouldn't get help.
The latest recorded data from the Los Angeles Department of Public Health shows the number of homeless deaths has risen from about two a day in 2014 to almost five a day in 2020. Statistics show the leading cause of death among homeless people is drug overdoses, along with medical issues, homicide and suicide.
