    LOS ANGELES — Democratic donor Ed Buck has been charged with
    operating a drug house after a 37-year-old man suffered a
    nonfatal overdose at his apartment last week. Two other men have
    died of overdoses at Buck’s house.

    Buck is accused of injecting the man with methamphetamine at his
    West Hollywood apartment on September 11, according to the Los
    Angeles County District Attorney’s Office. The man overdosed but
    survived.

    Buck was charged with three felony counts on Tuesday, including
    battery causing serious injury, administering methamphetamine
    and maintaining a drug house.

    He is scheduled to be arraigned Wednesday, and prosecutors are
    recommending bail be set at $4 million, the DA’s office said.

    CNN has reached out to Buck’s attorney, Seymour Amster.

    Gemmel Moore
    The latest victim isn’t the only person to have overdosed in
    Buck’s home.

    Two men have been found dead in Buck’s apartment — one in 2017
    and the other in January. Both of their deaths were caused by
    methamphetamine overdoses, the DA’s office says in court
    documents.

    Gemmel Moore, 26, was found dead at Buck’s home on July 27,
    2017. Moore’s death was ruled an accidental methamphetamine
    overdose, the Department of Medical Examiner- Coroner’s website
    says.

    The admissible evidence was insufficient to prove beyond a
    reasonable doubt that Buck was responsible for Moore’s death,
    according to a charge evaluation worksheet from the LA County
    District Attorney in July 2018.

    Moore’s mother filed a wrongful death lawsuit against Buck, 65,
    in February alleging that he injected her son with a lethal dose
    of crystal methamphetamine.

    The complaint describes Buck as a wealthy white man who “had a
    predatory and injurious system of soliciting Black men and
    watching them cling to life.” Both Moore and another man found
    dead at Buck’s house, Timothy Dean, were black.

    The lawsuit accuses him of wrongful death, sexual battery and
    assault and says he was not prosecuted “because he is white, and
    because Mr. Moore was Black.”

    After the lawsuit was filed, Amster responded on Buck’s behalf.

    “We categorically deny all allegations of wrongdoing and look
    forward to litigating this matter in a court of law,” Amster
    told NBC News in February.

    Timothy Dean
    Separately, deputies were called to Buck’s home on January 7 to
    respond to a person not breathing. When they arrived, they
    pronounced 55-year-old Timothy Dean dead. Dean’s death was ruled
    accidental, the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department said in
    March.

    Amster told CNN in January that Dean and Buck had been friends
    for more than 25 years. Buck has not been charged in Dean’s
    death.

    “Yes, Ed does have individuals he associates with who have
    problems with drugs. He tries to talk them out of it. Sometimes
    they bring their problems into his apartment, and that’s where
    the problem is,” Amster said at the time.

    Buck has donated to a number of Democratic candidates and PACs
    in recent years, according to information from OpenSecrets, a
    nonpartisan group that tracks money in US politics. Recipients
    rushed to return the money after Dean’s death.
