Protests erupted Tuesday outside the West Hollywood home of
prominent Democratic donor Ed Buck, with activists calling for
Buck's arrest after a man was found dead in the apartment early
Monday -- 17 months after a deceased male escort was discovered
there.
"Arrest Ed Buck, prosecute Ed Buck, and then a jury needs to
convict Ed Buck," activist Jasmyne Cannick said to the crowd
gathering outside the California apartment Monday night. "This
man has had two dead bodies in his house, and he is still in his
house."
Said another demonstrator: "This man is a danger to our
community."
Neighbors of Buck's, who were drawn out of their homes as a
result of the protest, said they have the same questions as
everyone else and have made their own calls to police, according
to FOX11.
Attorney Seymour Amster, Buck's attorney, confirmed the most
recent death to Fox News and said the unidentified victim was a
"longtime friend" who had known Buck for 25 years. Amster said
the victim "reached out for [Buck's] help" Sunday night and
began acting "in a bizarre way" after he arrived at Buck's
apartment.
"As far as we're concerned, this is an accidental death," said
Amster, who added police had released the scene and Buck was not
under arrest.

The man's identity and cause of death have not been released.
"The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Homicide Bureau has responded
to the location and Investigators are conducting a thorough
investigation," police said in a statement obtained by Fox News.
A resident who lives in the area told KTLA she was walking her
dogs around 12:15 a.m. Monday when she saw the individual enter
Buck's home.
"I woke up to find out that he didn't come out," she told the
station.
The Sheriff's Office also said they are now taking a second look
at the death of Gemmel Moore -- the male escort whose body was
found in Buck's apartment in July 2017 -- in the wake of
Monday's discovery.
Buck, a well-known figure in LGBT political circles, has given
more than $500,000 to a range of Democratic groups and
candidates — including former President Barack Obama, former
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and Los Angeles Mayor Eric
Garcetti.
In July of last year, prosecutors declined to file charges
against Buck in the death of Moore. According to a coroner's
report, Buck's apartment was full of drug paraphernalia,
including 24 syringes containing brown residue, five glass pipes
with white residue and burn marks, a plastic straw with possible
white residue, clear plastic bags with white powdery residue and
a clear plastic bag containing a piece of crystal-like substance.
Gemmel Moore, 26, was found dead at Buck's West Hollywood
apartment on July 27, 2017.

Moore's death initially was ruled an accidental methamphetamine
overdose, but the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Office re-opened
the investigation after writings in Moore's journal implicated
Buck in his drug use.
In a December 2016 entry, Moore wrote: "I’ve become addicted to
drugs and the worst one at that. Ed Buck is the one to thank. He
gave me my first injection of crystal meth it was very painful,
but after all the troubles, I became addicted…”
In his final entry, on Dec. 3, 2016, Moore wrote: "If it didn’t
hurt so bad, I’d kill myself, but I’ll let Ed Buck do it for
now."
At the time, Amster told Fox News the investigation into Moore's
death had "turned into an attack on Mr. Buck’s personal life."
"This was an accidental overdose that Ed Buck had nothing to do
with and it’s a tragedy,” Amster told Fox News after prosecutors
declined to file charges.
After Fox News reported on the investigation, at least six
Democrats in California and Arizona confirmed they had returned
or redirected donations from Buck.
