HYATTSVILLE, Md. — A death investigation is underway in Hyattsville after three men were found unconscious outside of an apartment building late Wednesday night, according to police.
Officers with the City of Hyattsville Police Department responded shortly before 11 p.m. to Queens Chapel Road, nearby Lancer Drive, after receiving a 911 call about the incident. EMS found the three men outside the building unconscious and not breathing. Medics administered Narcan and performed CPR, but they were unable to revive them. The identities of the men have not been released
According to police, there was no visible evidence of trauma to their bodies.
Police say they are hoping autopsies by Maryland's Office of the Chief Medical Examiner will solve the mystery. Results could take days or weeks, investigators said.
Resident Norma Patrice Camillia said she called 911 last after seeing the men when she opened her apartment window to feed her cats. She explained she and her husband thought the men were drunk, but she said she became scared when she saw the unusual position one man was in. Camilla reported that she saw two beer cans and another bottle and no sign of drug paraphernalia.
A teen who identified himself as the nephew of one of the victims said his uncle was a 53-year-old El Salvadoran immigrant construction worker. The nephew said family members believe his uncle was drinking with friends after work.
