    LOS ANGELES � Democratic donor Ed Buck has been charged with
    operating a drug house after a 37-year-old man suffered a
    nonfatal overdose at his apartment last week. Two other men have
    died of overdoses at Buck�s house.

    Buck is accused of injecting the man with methamphetamine at his
    West Hollywood apartment on September 11, according to the Los
    Angeles County District Attorney�s Office. The man overdosed but
    survived.

    Buck was charged with three felony counts on Tuesday, including
    battery causing serious injury, administering methamphetamine
    and maintaining a drug house.

    He is scheduled to be arraigned Wednesday, and prosecutors are
    recommending bail be set at $4 million, the DA�s office said.

    CNN has reached out to Buck�s attorney, Seymour Amster.

    Gemmel Moore
    The latest victim isn�t the only person to have overdosed in
    Buck�s home.

    Two men have been found dead in Buck�s apartment � one in 2017
    and the other in January. Both of their deaths were caused by
    methamphetamine overdoses, the DA�s office says in court
    documents.

    Gemmel Moore, 26, was found dead at Buck�s home on July 27,
    2017. Moore�s death was ruled an accidental methamphetamine
    overdose, the Department of Medical Examiner- Coroner�s website
    says.

    The admissible evidence was insufficient to prove beyond a
    reasonable doubt that Buck was responsible for Moore�s death,
    according to a charge evaluation worksheet from the LA County
    District Attorney in July 2018.

    Moore�s mother filed a wrongful death lawsuit against Buck, 65,
    in February alleging that he injected her son with a lethal dose
    of crystal methamphetamine.

    The complaint describes Buck as a wealthy white man who �had a
    predatory and injurious system of soliciting Black men and
    watching them cling to life.� Both Moore and another man found
    dead at Buck�s house, Timothy Dean, were black.

    The lawsuit accuses him of wrongful death, sexual battery and
    assault and says he was not prosecuted �because he is white, and
    because Mr. Moore was Black.�

    After the lawsuit was filed, Amster responded on Buck�s behalf.

    �We categorically deny all allegations of wrongdoing and look
    forward to litigating this matter in a court of law,� Amster
    told NBC News in February.

    Timothy Dean
    Separately, deputies were called to Buck�s home on January 7 to
    respond to a person not breathing. When they arrived, they
    pronounced 55-year-old Timothy Dean dead. Dean�s death was ruled
    accidental, the Los Angeles County Sheriff�s Department said in
    March.

    Amster told CNN in January that Dean and Buck had been friends
    for more than 25 years. Buck has not been charged in Dean�s
    death.

    �Yes, Ed does have individuals he associates with who have
    problems with drugs. He tries to talk them out of it. Sometimes
    they bring their problems into his apartment, and that�s where
    the problem is,� Amster said at the time.

    Buck has donated to a number of Democratic candidates and PACs
    in recent years, according to information from OpenSecrets, a
    nonpartisan group that tracks money in US politics. Recipients
    rushed to return the money after Dean�s death.
