RIP SETH NATHANIEL NIDEN-PREIS (October 1, 1990 – June 6, 2023)

Formal pronouncement of death was made on Tuesday at 5:09 p.m.

The Department of Medical Examiner publicly disclosed the CoD ruling on February 25, presumably after the results of tox screening came back positive for the drugs.

When the decedent was booked by Torrance PD in October 2022, his surname was recorded as one word — Nidenpreis — and his race/ethnicity was classified as White.

He had been arrested in Santa Cruz in 2013 on suspicion of maintaining a drug house and a probation violation. All charges against him were ordered dismissed by Superior Court of Santa Cruz County in July 2016 pursuant to his Court appearance under California’s Proposition 36. Proposition 36 allows a petitioner to have charges dismissed by a judge if the person can show they have substantially complied with the conditions of probation.
