Formal pronouncement of death was made on Saturday at 3:26 p.m.

As of July 26, the government investigator has not provided a date of birth. The state of California, however, has a birth record for a Grant Nicholas Germain, who was born in L.A. County on February 26, 1993. His mother’s maiden name is Allen. UPDATE: Birthday has been confirmed.

The government investigator responsible for this case and its mistakes is Karly Anderson.
