Gwinnett County Police on Friday were investigating two deadly drug overdoses that happened within an hour of each other earlier in the day.
The overdoses happened in the Turtle Creek neighborhood near Lawrenceville, according to police.
The first call came in at 6:09 a.m. from a home on Turtle Creek Way. A caller told 911 that a young man was unresponsive. Officers and members of Gwinnett County Fire & Emergency Services responded to the home and found the man, who was pronounced dead.
At 6:53 a.m., a second call came in to a home on Turtle Creek Court. Officers responded to a report of a medical emergency and a second young man was pronounced dead at the home.
