BUFFALO, N.Y. (WIVB) — Two men were found dead when police responded to an address on Broadway this past Wednesday.
Around 10 a.m. that day, police responded to a call about unresponsive men on Broadway between Jefferson Avenue and Fillmore Avenue. The two men, declared deceased at the scene, were identified as Buffalo residents ages 61 and 64. They are suspected to have overdosed.
