Overdoses killed hundreds and many died of accidents and illnesses. A vigil to remember the lost lives was held in Balboa Park on Wednesday.
Preliminary data from the county Medical Examiner’s Office indicate 2022 will see a record number of deaths among the region’s rising homeless population, occuring at a time when the county has declared homelessness and fentanyl to be public health crises.
The San Diego Regional Task Force on Homelessness this year began releasing monthly reports that show the number of people who fall into homelessness is outpacing the number of homeless people who find housing. On average over a 12-month period, the task force found 13 people fell into homelessness for every 10 who found housing.
The Medical Examiner’s Office is backlogged with investigations and about a year behind in closing cases. Officially, the office has closed cases that occurred in just the first quarter of 2022. Those cases found 139 deaths of homeless people, with 50 from accidental overdoses. Deaths by suicides included six from hanging, one from a gunshot wound to the head, and others from a stab wound or from jumping from high places or in front of a vehicle.
Of the 343 deaths in the city of San Diego, 87 occurred in the 92101 ZIP code in downtown and 75 were in the 92103 ZIP code that covers Hillcrest, Bankers Hill and Mission Hills.
