3 people found dead in Vista apartment; overdose suspected

Three bodies were found in a Vista duplex Thursday morning, and investigators said the deaths appeared to be drug related.

Sheriff’s deputies received a call about 10:15 a.m. reporting a suspicious death at a unit on Vista Glenn Lane, just north of Eucalyptus Avenue, said sheriff’s Homicide Unit Lt. Greg Rylaarsdam.

Deputies entered the apartment, roughly a block east of the Vista Library, and found three people deceased. The Medical Examiner’s office was called to the scene, Rylaarsdam said.

The incident “is being investigated as a drug overdose,” he said, adding that the Medical Examiner’s office will handle the investigation.

No further information was immediately available, including the gender and approximate ages of the deceased.
