The second death at Ed Buck's home, of another black man, is "suspicious," law enforcement said.
By Lydia O'Connor A black man in his 50s was found dead early Monday at the West Hollywood apartment of Ed Buck, a prominent Democratic donor associated with a different death in his home last year. The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department has not yet disclosed the deceased person’s name. An attorney for Buck told the Los Angeles Times that he believes the individual “was an old friend who died of an accidental overdose” of drugs he had used before coming to Buck’s home. The incident will sound eerily familiar to anyone who followed the investigation into the death of Gemmel Moore, a 26-year-old black escort who died of an accidental methamphetamine overdose in Buck’s home just 18 months ago. The prominent donor, 65, was present then as well. https://www.google.com/amp/s/m.huffpost.com/us/entry/us_5c33e43ae4b01e2d51f61b39/amp |

Another "accidental death?"
Curious, for sure. |
| Horrifying! Not sure why this is in politics? |

That sounds awful, and should be investigated thoroughly. The creepy old man may be a democratic donor, but I don't this has to do with "politics" - rich (white) guys are often given a blind eye for their sketchiness.
Even if the two men died from drug use, it seems ridiculous that Buck isn't charged with something drug possession/supply related, at the very least, if not more. |

'Cops have blood on their hands': Protests erupt outside wealthy Democrat donor Ed Buck's home after SECOND man dies there in 18 months as police are criticized for failing to investigate death of male prostitute properly
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-6567071/SECOND-man-dies-apparent-overdose-apartment-prominent-white-Democratic-donor-Ed-Buck.html More than 100 people gathered at the house of Edward Buck in West Hollywood on Monday night to demand the activist be arrested. Buck - a regular donor to Democratic campaigns including Hillary Clinton's presidential bid - was investigated for a suspected murder when Gemmel Moore, 26, was found dead of a meth overdose in July 2017. The retired donor was again interviewed by police yesterday after another black man, in his 50s, died in his presence although the cause is not yet known. Jasmyne Cannick, a public affairs strategist who has worked with Gemmel Moore's family, said the DA and Sheriff's Department 'have blood on their hands' for failing to properly investigate the donor. |
| Why is this in politics? It's terrible, and I hope Buck gets the book thrown at him, but white men murdering black prostitutes is hardly anything new or political. |
Do you think he’s getting away with it because he’s rich and politically connected? |
| If Dems didn’t care about mega donor Terry Beahraping s child and getting away with it they won’t care about this |
| Sorry meant Terry Bean raping a child |

Ed Buck is extremely rich and well connected, but he’s exceeded the acceptable number of dead guys found in his home by two. Off to jail. LGBT Community Calls For Investigation After 2nd Man Dies In WeHo Apartment Of Democratic Donor – CBS Los Angeles

becayse he’s a political donor |
What? |
| You all should look up the Terry Bean story. Major obama donor and dem donor, co founded the human rights campaign. He and his boyfriend were accused of raping a 15 year old. Bean paid the 15 year old $250,000 and then the boy refused to testify and the prosecution didn’t want to subpoena him do they dropped the charges |
Shhhhh - Top Obama bundler accused of child rape: Column https://www.usatoday.com/story/opinion/2014/11/20/kiah-lawson-terry-bean-human-rights-campaign-gay-sex-obama-prison-column/70021560/ On Wednesday, Portland, Ore. police arrested Terrence Patrick Bean, who has been charged with two felony counts of having sex with a minor last year. This man is not just any old guy accused of having sex with a 15-year-old – he's a big-money Democratic donor and liberal political activist with connections inside the Obama White House. Bean raised more than a half-million dollars for Obama's 2012 re-election campaign. |
