Autopsies confirm drugs caused the deaths of three people whose bodies were found inside a Mason City house in February.
The Mason City Police Department was called to a home on the afternoon of February 28th following a report that multiple individuals had been found unresponsive inside.
Upon arrival, Police and Fire Department personnel entered the residence and located three deceased adults. Foul play at the time was not suspected.
State officials now say 73-year-old Larry Walker, who owned the home, died by acute mixed drug intoxication of fentanyl and methamphetamine. 39-year-old Shey Pals of Mason City died by toxic effects of fentanyl, meth, and ethanol. 33-year-old Morgan Tarr died by toxic effects of fentanyl and meth.
All three of the deaths have been ruled accidental.
