Residents called 911 just before 11 p.m. Wednesday after seeing three men unconscious outside an apartment building in the 5700 block of Queens Chapel Road, Hyattsville police said Thursday morning.

Medics responded and found that the men were not breathing. They performed CPR and administered Narcan — which can reverse opioid overdoses and save lives — “but were unable to revive the men,” a statement from police said.

There was no visible evidence of trauma to the victims’ bodies, and homicides were not suspected, police said. Medical examiners will determine the men’s causes of death.

Anyone with potentially relevant information is asked to call police. Callers do not need to provide their names, the department said.

Update (Aug. 25, 2022, 2:40 p.m. ET): A police official initially told News4 the department was investigating whether the men may have suffered drug overdoses. The department later said they will await medical examiners’ results to determine the nature of the investigation.
