Pittsburgh police are investigating a "medical situation" that left three people dead and four others hospitalized Sunday morning.

All seven people were wearing orange paper wrist bands, which may offer clues, Pittsburgh Director of Public Safety Wendell Hissrich said. He said all are believed to be middle-aged men.

Authorities responded to a report of an unconscious man around 2 a.m. Sunday on the city's south side. They found a man dead at the scene, Hissrich said.

Shortly later, paramedics responded to another man who was "somewhat conscious" and had symptoms similar to that of the first man. He was taken to a nearby hospital, Hissrich said.

Police traced both men back to an apartment in which five more people were found. CNN affiliate KDKA identified the complex as the Southside Works City Apartments.

Lacking any information, I’m going to guess they were guests at a party, the admission for which was the orange wrist band, where some toxic comestibles or inhalants were distributed.

Add to that the fact that they were all middle-aged men

My guess is a homo drug/sex party.

If the first man was dead, I’m wondering what symptoms the second man was displaying that was similar to the first man. Does that mean he was dead too?

Thanks to post 2 which seems to draw some reasonable tentative conclusions from very incomplete information.

My guess was that a University of Tennessee football party led to a mass suicide attempt, but post 2 is a much more modest interpretation of available “evidence.”

There is a price for hedonistic decadence.

KDKA:”Police say they’re aware of two Pittsburgh venues that used orange wrist bands last night.”

“Conditions” ranging up to dead and critical?

Weird phrasing. Not shot or stabbed.

I can’t say I’be ever been to a house party where guests are given colored wrist bands to wear. Seems strange to me.

Let me guess.

You are attracted to the opposite sex, right?
