A West Hollywood man who made prominent donations to the Democratic Party was charged Tuesday with running a drug house where two men died of overdoses.

Edward Buck, who was arrested at his home Tuesday, should be held on $4 million bail because he is a "violent, dangerous sexual predator" who offered drugs, money and shelter to mainly addicted and homeless men in exchange for participating in sexual fetishes, including a fetish that involved administering dangerous doses of drugs, Los Angeles County prosecutors said in a motion.

Buck "has no regard for human life," the motion said.
In addition to operating a drug house, Buck is charged with furnishing methamphetamine and with battery causing serious bodily injury. He was scheduled for arraignment on Wednesday.

Messages to his attorney, Seymour Amster, were not immediately returned.

Buck, 65, has donated tens of thousands of dollars to California candidates, including Gov. Gavin Newsom, and is well known in LGBTQ political circles.

Buck came under investigation in January after 55-year-old Timothy Dean was found dead of an accidental methamphetamine overdose in his apartment. It was the second such death in two years, following the July 2017 death of Gemmel Moore, 26.

Both men were black. Buck, who is white, was not charged and critics later questioned if wealth, race or political ties influenced the investigation.

The investigation into those deaths continues, county district attorney's spokesman Greg Risling said.

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

In their bail motion, however, prosecutors specifically blamed Buck's actions for the two deaths and they alleged he personally gave a dangerous dose of methamphetamine to a man who survived an overdose earlier this month.

On Sept. 11, the man returned and Buck injected him with two more dangerous doses, refused to help him and "thwarted" his efforts to get help until the man fled the apartment and called 911 from a gas station, prosecutors alleged.

"His deadly behavior has not stopped," prosecutors contended.

Buck's "predatory acts and willful disregard for human life must be stopped before another life is lost," their motion read.

The things that connected liberals get away with is frightening.

Snort or ingest too much. Contaminants etc. See below:



Methamphetamine Overdose
The most common cause of death associated with methamphetamine is multiple organ failure resembling that resulting from heatstroke.[1] Norephenephrine release in peripheral blood vessels and in the heart can lead to cardiovascular collapse secondary to ventricular fibrillation or cerebral stroke and hemorrhage caused by a drug-induced rise in blood pressure. There are other rarer causes of death, including poisoning by heavy metals (e.g., lead) introduced as contaminants in illicitly manufactured supplies of methamphetamine, and liver failure.[2,3]

Depending on the route of administration, signs and symptoms of MA overdose include:[4,5]

Chest pain
Arrhythmias
Hypertension or Hypotension
Difficult or labored breathing (Dyspnea)
Agitation
Hallucinations
Psychosis
Seizures
Rapid or slow heart beat (tachycardia or bradycardia)
Hyperthermia
The hyperthermia that occurs frequently during MA overdose can be due to muscular hyperactivity, the increased metabolic demands on the body, or a hypothalamus malfunction. Most cases presenting MA toxicity will exhibit hypertension and often sedatives are used to treat it.[6] In addition, hypertension can result in cerebral infarcts, which also may be attributed to ischemia or hemorrhage.[5]

MA overdose can instigate strained metabolic states that cause muscle cells to become ischemic and die. As a result, the muscle cells release their content, which includes creatine phosphokinase (CPK), myoglobin, potassium, and phosphate. This in turn can lead to rhabdomyolysis, metabolic acidosis, and fatal renal failure.[6]

Although the above mentioned symptoms of MA overdose can be seen in other drug overdoses, it is important to note that individuals with MA overdose perspire profusely.[6]

Toxic, fatal, or subfatal syndromes are seldom seen in chronic, high dose stimulant users. Rather, lethal toxicities due to stimulant overdose (both MA and cocaine) may be more likely among neophytes, as such users have low tolerance and are thus more likely to administer too large of a dose. Long-term stimulant users are able to administer higher doses while having fewer symptoms possibly because tachyphylaxis occurs with continued use.[5,7,8]

It was a rhetorical question, as people choose to consume it.

Sorry, but thanks for the info.

Meth heads get freaky sexually.
I'm sure that was his game. Seems they were getting a hot shot ....
