Sounds like he was probably in a bad living situation already but being declared dead definitely didn’t help:
Kylie jumped into action and combed the streets of the Tenderloin, finding her father after 12 hours in “very very poor health,” she said. Because he had been considered dead, she learned he had lost his monthly disability checks. She told the Chronicle that her father had become addicted to fentanyl.
“My dad didn’t have as severe an addiction before this mistake,” Kylie told the Chronicle. “There’s been a significant decline in his health over the three years.”
