Two teenage girls, ages 18 and 19, collapsed and died of suspected drug overdoses late Saturday afternoon while attending HARD Summer music festival at the Fairplex in Pomona, California according to the Los Angeles County Coroner’s Office. Officials say after both women were transported to the Pomona Valley Medical Center, one was pronounced dead just after 6pm and the other pronounced dead around 8pm.
