One person dead, three others hospitalized in suspected mass overdose in Moreno Valley

One person died and three others were hospitalized Saturday night after an apparent mass overdose at a Moreno Valley home.

Authorities responded to a call for service in the 23000 block of Elyce Court around 7:30 p.m., the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department said. Upon arrival, police found one man had already died. Three other men were taken to the hospital.

“Early findings would indicate drugs are a factor in the death and we do not suspect foul play,” the Sheriff’s Department said in a statement. On Sunday night, authorities said a toxicology report was pending and that they did not know what substance caused the deaths.

The conditions of those who were hospitalized were not available at the time of publication.
