Three other men were transported to a hospital "for treatment of life-threatening injuries," a sheriff's news release said Sunday morning. "Early findings would indicate drugs are a factor in the death and we do not suspect foul play."

News video from the scene showed paramedics loading patients into ambulances at the end of a cul-de-sac lined by single-story homes.

The substance involved was unknown, authorities said in a previous statement.

Emergency vehicles are seen outside a home in Moreno Valley after what authorities responded to an overdose incident on Dec. 3, 2022.
