Official: Political donor faces US charge in overdose death
LOS ANGELES — A law enforcement official says political activist Ed Buck will face a federal charge in a drug death at his Los Angeles-area home.
The official with knowledge of the investigation said Thursday that Buck will be charged with distributing meth resulting in the death of Gemmel Moore.
The official wasn’t authorized to speak publicly and insisted on anonymity.
Moore died at the 65-year-old gay activist’s West Hollywood home in 2017. Another man died of an overdose there last year.
