The West Hollywood apartment of a prominent Democratic donor where a 26-year-old man was found dead of an overdose this summer was littered with drug paraphernalia, according to the man’s autopsy report.
The Los Angeles County coroner’s report... says that Gemmel Moore died from an accidental methamphetamine overdose July 27 in the Laurel Avenue home of Ed Buck. The drug was injected into his body.
Paramedics found Moore naked on a mattress in the living room with a “male pornography movie playing on the television,” the report states.
Coroner's officials ruled Moore's death an accident, and an initial review by sheriff's deputies found nothing suspicious. In August, Los Angeles County sheriff’s homicide detectives launched a new investigation after Moore’s mother and friends questioned whether the drugs that killed him were self-administered.
Capt. Chris Bergner of the sheriff’s homicide bureau said witnesses are still being interviewed and that it remains an “active investigation.”
No charges have been filed.
Moore's mother, LaTisha Nixon of Texas, has questioned whether Buck's ties to elected officials and differences in race and class influenced the investigation. Buck, who is 63 and white, is a longtime political donor, one-time West Hollywood City Council candidate and a well-known figure in LGBTQ political circles. Moore, who was black, had been homeless and had worked as an escort.
Buck’s attorney, Seymour Amster, says his client was a friend of Moore’s who did nothing wrong and that the methamphetamine was self-administered. After reviewing the autopsy report, Amster said he maintained his position that Buck “did not witness it being injected.”
“I think it’s time to bring this tragedy to a conclusion,” Amster said. “This was an accidental death. This was an unfortunate death … but that doesn’t mean we can make spurious accusations and spin something out of control.”

Moore was a Black male “escort,” and Buck is a poofer who likes young Black Men!
Funny how that is in this case.
Lavender mafia strikes again.
Nothing has changed in the den of iniquity, West Hollywood.
Behold, our betters.

Buck sure looks like a retiring Arizona politician. Just can’t quite name him.
Ed Buck and the AZ Gov Meacham recall in 1987
“The recall committee was led by Ed Buck, a registered Republican and gay businessman living in the Phoenix area. In response, Mecham claimed the recall supporters were “a band of homosexuals and dissident Democrats.”

This is what Democrats call “a terrible tragedy”
Like a candle in the wind...
Welcome to the Democrat party
Another creepy Dem.
Is this about Don Henley but girls and no man died?
Cap’n Beefhart?
It seems like this old Dem donor couldn’t even sing. But yeah, same thing as Don Henley. When your drug addled hookers die on you in the Hollywood Hills. Could be a long running series on Netflix.
Poor old Donor couldn’t wait to find out how the gay porn movie ended, had to get outa there fast.
Sure we can. The "progressives" do it all the time.
Is this the same PD that messed up the Ronni Chasen homicide in 2010 (?), the investigation a joke?
Oh how very clever wording to render it harmless & meaningless eh?
Must have been a hard way to go.
