Overview
- Paramedics responding to a medical emergency discovered the two boys unresponsive at a Hyde Park home on South Victoria Avenue near Crenshaw Boulevard early Monday, and officers were called to the scene.
- The Los Angeles County Medical Examiner’s Office identified the children as Atlas and Sebastian Carbajal and completed autopsies but has withheld reports pending lab results.
- Toxicology testing remains pending and officials have not released an official cause or manner of death while investigators continue their probe.
- Multiple law enforcement sources and reporters have indicated fentanyl may be involved but that possibility is unconfirmed, and detectives interviewed family members before releasing them.
- The LAPD Juvenile Division is asking anyone with information to call 213-486-0570 and the outcome of the tests could affect public-health and safety responses around accidental fentanyl exposure to children.
