Filipino Businessman Juan Paolo Tantoco Dies of Suspected Accidental Overdose in Los Angeles

LOS ANGELES, California — Juan Paolo Tantoco, a 44-year-old Filipino businessman, was found dead in Los Angeles following what authorities described as a suspected accidental cocaine overdose.

The Los Angeles County Coroner’s Office confirmed on Saturday that Tantoco’s death was caused by an "alleged accidental cocaine overdose," based on their official toxicology and autopsy findings. His body was discovered earlier this week at a private residence in the city.

Tantoco, a member of the prominent Tantoco family known in Philippine business circles, was reportedly in the U.S. on personal travel. Details surrounding the circumstances of his death remain limited as the investigation continues.
