A Los Angeles Police investigator takes pictures in the rain, as investigators gather evidence in the death of an adult male found dead at a homeless encampment in downtown Los Angeles on March 12, 2021. A new report shows that nearly 2,000 homeless people died in Los Angeles County during the first year of the pandemic, an increase of 56% from the previous year, driven mainly by drug overdoses. The findings released Friday, April 22, 2022, in a report from the county's Department of Public Health are the latest illustration of how the COVID-19 pandemic impacted California's staggering population of unhoused people.
