Garren said officers and medics responded to a call around 1:50 a.m. Thursday after someone reported seeing a person down along Nimitz Boulevard, north of Famosa Boulevard.
They arrived and found Cogdill unresponsive. San Diego Fire-Rescue medics performed life-saving measures at the scene before transporting Cogdill to a hospital, where he died.
