   Los Angeles County Sheriff's homicide detectives are   
   investigating the circumstances surrounding the fatal drug   
   overdose of a 26-year-old man at the West Hollywood home of   
   prominent Democratic donor Ed Buck.   
      
   Sheriff Jim McDonnell said Monday that while coroner's officials   
   ruled Gemmel Moore's July 27 death an accident, homicide   
   detectives will be conducting a follow-up investigation based on   
   "additional information." He declined to elaborate.   
      
   Initial investigations by deputies and the Los Angeles County   
   Coroner's office did not flag anything suspicious in Moore's   
   death, sheriff's Capt. Chris Bergner said, but the new probe was   
   being launched "out of abundance of caution."   
      
   Seymour Amster, an attorney representing Buck, said Monday that   
   his client had "nothing to do with this young man's tragic   
   death."   
      
   He added that Moore, whom he described as a "good friend" of   
   Buck, was found in a bathroom of the home, alone, with the door   
   closed.   
      
   It was "a self-imposed accidental death," he said. Buck, 62, did   
   not return calls seeking comment.   
      
   Ed Winter, a spokesman for the coroner's office, said Buck was   
   inside the Laurel Avenue home at the time of Moore's death and   
   that drug paraphernalia was recovered from the scene.   
      
   The new investigation came amid calls by Moore's family for a   
   deeper examination of his death.   
      
   A family friend provided the Los Angeles Times with pages of   
   what he said was Moore's journal from December. The friend also   
   provided a video showing him picking up the journal from the   
   coroner's office. In the purported journal entries, Moore writes   
   about his drug use. He also makes accusations against Buck.   
      
   Moore's mother, LaTisha Nixon, said her son worked for a time as   
   an escort and used drugs. Shortly before his death, he told her   
   he was homeless.   
      
   "I can't bring my son back. He's gone," said Nixon, a mail   
   carrier who lives in Spring, Texas. "There's nothing I can do.   
   I'd give the world if I could. I just want this situation   
   exposed."   
      
   Amster dismissed the journals.   
      
   "What happened in 2016, in unverified writing, I doubt has   
   anything to do with what happened in 2017," the attorney said.   
   "There is nothing to show that Ed was anything but a kind-   
   hearted individual trying to help somebody else by giving them   
   access to his home."   
      
   Buck became a nationally known figure in the late 1980s when he   
   led the effort to impeach Arizona Gov. Evan Mecham. News reports   
   at the time described Buck as a conservative Republican.   
      
   The New York Times in 1987 described him as "a 33-year-old   
   millionaire entrepreneur who retired from the insurance service   
   business a year ago to found the Mecham Recall Committee."   
      
   Upon learning that Buck is gay, Mecham's aides distributed   
   bumper stickers reading "Queer Ed Buck's Recall." The Arizona   
   governor's efforts to dismiss the recall supporters — whom he   
   dubbed "a band of homosexuals and a few dissident Democrats" —   
   with comments about sexual orientation were pilloried in   
   "Doonesbury" comics.   
      
   More recently, Buck donated to various Democratic causes.   
   Through June of this year, Buck donated $23,600 to various   
   California races and causes, including $7,600 to Senate   
   President Pro Tem Kevin de León (D-Los Angeles) in his bid for   
   lieutenant governor, according to campaign finance records. He   
   also donated to candidates running for election to the West   
   Hollywood City Council, Los Angeles Unified School District   
   board and state Senate.   
      
   Buck had also served on the Stonewall Democratic Club Steering   
   Committee. Last week, the group requested Buck's resignation in   
   the wake of Moore's death.   
      
   "We understand Mr. Buck has not been charged with a crime and we   
   cannot comment on those allegations," the organization said in a   
   statement. "They are serious, however. We have requested,   
   therefore, and accepted the resignation of Mr. Buck from the   
   Stonewall Democratic Club Steering Committee."   
      
   According to Amster, Buck agreed to resign because he did not   
   want to draw negative publicity to the organization.
