Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 02 Dec, 2015 11:19 AM

SAGUENAY, Que. — Quebec police say drugs may have caused the deaths of two men who were found 48 hours apart in the same bed.

Saguenay police spokesman Bruno Cormier says a particularly dangerous chemical drug is making the rounds in the area about 250 kilometres north of Quebec City.

Police have said the men in their 30s were known to authorities and knew each other.

The body of Eric Migneault, 34, was found Sunday, while that of the second man was discovered on Tuesday morning.

The man whose corpse was found Tuesday as well as a woman had to be revived last Friday after apparently taking an overdose.

Saguenay police spokesman Bruno Cormier says Migneault did not live in the residence but that the second man did.
