(L.A.) Victor Bolanos, 63, Ended His Life

Case Number: 2024-05572

Los Angeles County is reporting the death of a 63-year-old Latino male that occurred at his residence.

The coroner’s office has identified the man as Victor Bolanos.

Manner of Death: Suicide

Cause of Death: Xylazine Intoxication

RIP VICTOR BOLANOS (June 22, 1960 – April 1, 2024)

Formal pronouncement of death was made on Monday at 9:20 p.m.

The Department of Medical Examiner publicly disclosed the CoD ruling on May 31, presumably after the results of tox screening had come back positive for the drug.

Xylazine is a non-opioid sedative and muscle relaxant primarily used in veterinary medicine. It is not approved for human use due to its severe side effects, including respiratory depression, low blood pressure, and central nervous system depression.
