Death at home of political donor was meth overdose

Authorities say a second man to die at the Southern California home of a Democratic donor died of a methamphetamine overdose.

The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department says the January 7th death of 55-year-old Timothy Dean was ruled accidental.

He's the second person in a year and a half to have died at the West Hollywood residence of Ed Buck.

The Los Angeles Times reports the investigation into Dean's death is continuing.

The other man, 26-year-old Gemmel Moore, also died of a meth overdose.

Buck was investigated in Moore's death, and prosecutors last summer declined to file charges.

Buck's attorney, Seymour Amster, has said Dean came to Buck's home under the influence and didn't ingest any drugs while there.

Buck has frequently supported Democratic candidates, including giving $2,000 to Gov. Gavin Newsom's campaign.
