Assistant U.S. Atty. Andrew Haden was found dead in an office inside the Edward J. Schwartz Federal Building in San Diego on Wednesday, shortly after being reported missing. There were no signs of foul play involved, authorities said.
Haden, 48, had worked for the U.S. attorney’s office since 2010 and twice served as acting U.S. attorney for the Southern District of California during transitions of leadership — once for around two months in 2023 and then again for another two-month stint in 2025.
Southern District U.S. Atty. Adam Gordon confirmed Haden’s death in a statement, saying Thursday was “one of the darkest days in our office’s history, but there was nothing dark about Andrew Haden’s life.”
San Diego police received a report of a missing man late Wednesday evening and found him dead in an office at 880 Front St. shortly after, according to department spokesperson Ashley Nicholes. The address is that of the downtown San Diego federal building, which houses the U.S. attorney’s office.
Andrew Haden served in the US Navy for five years and completed two deployments in Iraq and Liberia.
