According to detectives, the man was found dead and alone inside of a tent he had previously entered to smoke marijuana with some friends from high school.
Authorities have launched an overdose investigation in San Bernardino after a Montebello man attending a music festival died over the weekend.
The circumstances leading up to the death are still unclear and friends and family are desperately searching for answers, calling upon local law enforcement to assist them in finding closure. His mother and childhood friend, Gabriel Noriega, believe that the marijuana was laced with some sort of powerful drug. After he was found dead, Eli was rushed to San Bernardino Community Hospital, where according to Rodriguez, she was unable to see her son, claiming he might have been contaminated or contagious.
