Three people who may have overdosed on drugs were found dead Wednesday inside a downtown Los Angeles apartment building in the Skid Row area.
The bodies were discovered Wednesday afternoon inside a building in the 600 block of Wall Street after authorities responded to reports of three people unconscious and not breathing, authorities said.
An investigation was continuing, but a fire department spokesman described the deaths as “suspected overdoses,” noting that the coroner’s office will make the final determination. All three victims were pronounced dead at the scene.
According to reports from the scene, fire officials responded to the same location around 10:30 p.m. Tuesday due to a possible overdose victim. That person regained consciousness but declined to be taken to a hospital, according to the reports.
