At least three partygoers, all wearing orange wristbands, died early Sunday and four others were hospitalized following a medical emergency at an apartment complex in Pittsburgh, officials say.
At least three people, all wearing orange wristbands, died from drug overdoses early Sunday and four others were hospitalized after police responded to a medical emergency at an apartment complex in Pittsburgh, officials said.
"The victims -- including three people who died and four who remain hospitalized -- appear to have been at the same venue together, and then to have gone to a second location at a private residence where they apparently overdosed on drugs," the Pittsburgh Police Department said in a statement."The victims all took the narcotics at the same time and in the same location."
When police officers went inside the apartment where the drugs were allegedly taken, they found five other people in need of medical assistance, authorities said.
