Formal pronouncement of death was made on Wednesday at 10:06 p.m.

The pathologist who categorized this as a COVID death is Dr. Sami Souccar.
The decedent was found lifeless in the Washignton Square area, in front of a vacant restuarant next to Bay Market on Washington Boulevard, just east of the Venice Pierr parking lot.
The southern end of Venice is home to the 1,300 foot Venice Pier and an upscale area known to locals as Washington Square.
