Written by AARON CASTREJON CityWatch Editor SAN DIMAS - A man died from a drug overdose in a residential area Friday afternoon.
The death was reported just before 12:30 p.m. on Brairwood Lane near Tanglewood Drive May 5. During a Friday afternoon interview, the type of drugs that may have led to the death were not known and that an autopsy would likely reveal that, according to Sgt. Nafissi of the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s San Dimas Station. The victim was found inside a residence, Nafissi said, adding that it was not immediately known how long the victim was inside before being discovered. The area was taped off Friday, with a large contingent of Sheriff’s deputies on scene, for many hours. “Usually anytime there’s an overdose we have to call a task force,” Nafissi told SGV CityWatch.

Leobardo Estrada, 24, from Baldwin Park, was identified by the Los Angeles County Department of Medical Examiner-Coroner. An exam has yet to be scheduled to determine cause of death, but a statement issued by the California Highway Patrol indicated Estrada suffered blunt force trauma to the head and chest. Estrada crashed and died after apparently losing control of his 2018 Suzuki GSX R600 south on the 57 freeway south of Covina Boulevard around 12:36 a.m. He was at an unknown high rate of speed when he hit the divider, according to the California Highway Patrol. Estrada veered left and sideswiped the divider. He was ejected from the motorcycle. A Sig Alert was issued at 1:05 a.m. for the No. 1 lane of the south 57 freeway north of Covina Boulevard. The Sig Alert was cancelled at 2:57 a.m. It is unclear if alcohol and/or drugs factored in the crash.
