Video footage from San Francisco posted on social media on Aug. 30 shows morgue vans loading bodies amid scenes of widespread addiction, with people folded up and contorted in unnatural positions in what many describe as dystopian settings on the streets of downtown.
Posts on X, formerly known as Twitter, repeatedly shared by locals indicate that as many as 18 overdose deaths took place in San Francisco throughout the day, but a spokesperson for the chief medical examiner’s office told The Epoch Times by email on Aug. 31 that 13 deaths occurred and are currently under investigation.
