Two students were found dead Tuesday afternoon from suspected drug overdoses hours before Fayette-Ware High School’s graduation ceremony, according to the Fayette County Sheriff’s Office.
Another female student was taken to a hospital in critical condition, officials said.
Officials said later that the student’s condition had improved.
The deaths were discovered before the school was scheduled to hold its graduation ceremony.
The Sheriff’s Office said that the call came in just before 5 p.m. for three people who were not breathing.
A spokesman said that the two girls who died were between ages 16-17 as the third girl is of similar ages, but he would not say if any of them were supposed to participate in Tuesday night’s graduation, which started with a moment of silence.
When asked what the signs of overdose were, the department spokesman wouldn’t give specifics but did say that’s what the first responders on scene assessed.
The Sheriff’s Office said that the department has responded to more drug calls, much like we’re seeing across the country.
