1 Dead, 7 Hospitalized After Taking Tainted Drugs at Concert
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Authorities are awaiting autopsy and toxicology results after a man died and at least seven other people were hospitalized after apparently taking tainted drugs at a suburban San Francisco concert.
Five of the seven hospitalized were in critical condition Monday, while two were in stable condition.
Daly City police say 23-year-old Anthony Mata of Santa Clara died Sunday from a suspected drug overdose at a San Francisco hospital. He and the others fell ill after attending Saturday's "POP 2010: The Dream" music festival in Daly City.
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Capt. Cory Roay says Mata may have been under the influence of Ecstasy and methamphetamine. But he says the symptoms are not consistent with a normal Ecstasy overdose.
"They are actually much more serious and life-threatening."
Roay says investigators are still trying to determine who supplied the tainted drugs.
