The death of Timothy Dean (pictured), 55, who was the second man to die inside the home of Democratic donor, Ed Buck, has been ruled a meth overdose
The death of a second man who was found inside the Los Angeles apartment of prominent Democrat donor, Ed Buck, has been ruled a methamphetamine overdose.
Timothy Dean, 55, was found dead on January 7 inside Buck's apartment.
He became the second man to die within a span of 18 months inside Buck's home.
'Toxicology results are back and the cause of death is an overdose,' Detective Quilmes Rodriguez of the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department, said in an email to The Daily Beast.
'We've conducted several additional interviews with other witnesses and are pending the final two interviews,' the officer added.
Meth is the same drug that killed Gemmel Moore at Buck's home in 2017.
Last month, Buck was hit with a wrongful death lawsuit following Dean's death.
LaTisha Nixon filed legal papers in a Los Angeles court, alleging the 65-year-old West Hollywood political donor is responsible for the death of her son, Moore.
Buck has made more than $500,000 in political donations to both local politicians and national campaigns including Hillary Clinton's 2016 presidential bid.

Moore died of a crystal meth overdose in the donor's apartment in July 2017.
The LA Sheriff's Department opened a homicide investigation, but a year later the District Attorney, Jackie Lacey, declined to file charges against Buck, citing insufficient evidence.
Dean's death prompted an outcry from local activists for the wealthy Democrat's arrest.
Nixon's suit names Lacey and Assistant Head Deputy District Attorney Craig Hum as co-defendants, accusing them of wrongfully failing to investigate and prosecute Buck for murder.
The coroner ruled the death an accidental overdose and Buck has always maintained his innocence and denied any wrongdoing.
The lawsuit is seeking damages against Ed Buck for 'wrongful death, sexual battery, drug dealer liability, premises liability, negligence per se, intentional infliction of emotional distress and hate violence'.
In her legal complaint, Nixon cites evidence from several men who told police that they were 'forcibly injected with crystal methamphetamine by Mr. Buck'.
Buck's attorney, Seymour Amster, has previously denied any wrongdoing by his client, said Buck did not inject anyone, and called the allegations against Buck 'spurious'.
The lawsuit claims that Buck bought Moore a plane ticket from Houston to visit him at his apartment in July 2017, and that just hours after he landed, Moore was dead.
Police found the apartment 'littered with multiple syringes with brown residue, a scale, several lighters and torches, a straw with white residue, glass pipes with white residue and burn marks, plastic bags with white powdery residue and a clear plastic bag containing a crystal-like substance,' the legal papers say.

The documents claim Buck had 'previously solicited sex' from Moore 'would insist upon injecting Mr. Moore with crystal methamphetamine' then forcing him to watch hardcore gay pornography.
Buck also 'required Mr. Moore to masturbate and engage in other autoerotic sex acts for Mr. Buck's sexual gratification and pleasure,' according to the lawsuit.
'Until now, Ed Buck has avoided prosecution by the very same elected officials and law enforcement agents whose pockets he's been lining with hundreds of
