The coroner’s office has identified the man as Fernando Estrada.

RIP FERNANDO ESTRADA (October 14, 1994 – September 27, 2023)

Formal pronouncement of death was made on Wednesday at 8:01 p.m.

Ruling by the deputy medical examiner was published on May 15, presumably after the results of tox screening had come back positive for the drugs.

The decedent was found on the floor of the facility with a straw, a lighter, and a piece of foil with a burnt substance on it.

One of the methods used to smoke meth is called foiling. The methamphetamine is placed on aluminum foil and heated from below with an open flame.
