“Our job as an overdose response task force is to hold dealers accountable if this is indeed a drug death and we will find that out later from the medical examiner what the actual passing or the cause of the passing was,” said Lt. Bobby Dean, with the LA County Sheriff's Department.
Neighbors have been stopping by to see what was going on.
One neighbor said it was a family who lived at the home, one father and two older sons.
She’s known the family since 1985 and says their kids grew up playing together.
“Very sad and in shock, we did know the family and our children grew up together and we moved in together. We've been fairly close,” said Susan Pokorny, a neighbor.
The men’s identities have not been released.
