Authorities have launched an investigation after four people were found dead from a suspected overdose inside a home in Fullerton on Monday morning, according to police.
Officers responded to a residence in the 100 block of West Wilshire Avenue around 11 a.m. after receiving a distress call from a man who reported that his friends had overdosed and were not breathing, the Anaheim Police Department said in a statement.
