Western Australian Police have not confirmed the identities or ages of the three victims or the locations where the overdoses are believed to have occurred.
Three people died within 24 hours in Perth as a result of drug overdoses believed to be linked to GHB. "Either there's a more potent version of GHB suddenly hit the streets, or someone has got hold of a whole lot of it," Dr Andrew Miller, the WA Australian Medical Association President, told 9News.
