One man had been dead so long that by the time he was found at a homeless camp, his body was so decomposed that no one could tell how he died.
They succumbed to heart disease, hypothermia and COVID-19. They were hit by trains and cars. They overdosed aboard BART and in a storage unit.
As of Tuesday, 172 homeless people had died this year in Alameda County, according to the Coroner’s Bureau. The only solace: That’s down from 196 last year. “It’s a collective failing,” said San Jose Mayor-Elect Matt Mahan. “It’s an indictment of our society that allows people to live and die on the streets before their time.”
“He would always light up everything. He was always dancing, playing music,” she said. “Now it’s so quiet.”
