A 22-year-old man from Poway cut his throat with a box cutter in front of his girlfriend and others in a 4S Ranch shopping center on Saturday, an official said.
He died an hour later at Scripps Memorial Hospital La Jolla, an investigator at the San Diego Medical Examiner's Office said.
The man's name is not being released because he committed suicide, said Lt. Jim Duffy of the San Diego County Sheriff's Department.
Duffy said the department received three 911 calls around 4:15 p.m. Saturday saying the man had cut his throat in the parking lot of the Cost Plus World Market on Reserve Drive off 4S Ranch Parkway.
One of the 911 calls came from the man's girlfriend, who works at one of the shopping center businesses, Duffy said.
The man had lost a lot of blood and his skin was pale when authorities arrived. He was transported to Scripps Memorial Hospital La Jolla and pronounced dead, Duffy said.
Updated 1:50 p.m.: Adds that the man was from Poway, according to the San Diego Medical Examiner's Office.
