Soft Moon musician and DJ among three found dead in LA loft of suspected fentanyl overdose

Musician Jose “Luis” Vasquez of the Soft Moon was one of three people found dead of a suspected fentanyl overdose in a Los Angeles loft, along with techno DJ Silent Servant and his wife.
Vasquez, 44, was found dead Thursday alongside the DJ, real name John “Juan” Mendez, and Mendez’s wife, Simone Ling, 43, after a welfare check, sources told the Los Angeles Times.
Although the coroner did not disclose the cause of death, it is being investigated as a possible fentanyl overdose after paraphernalia were found at the scene in the DJ’s loft, the paper’s sources said.
Vasquez gained a global fan base with his post-punk project the Soft Moon, and released five albums as well as several remixes and EPs. He also toured with acts including Depeche Mode, Interpol, and Mogwai.
“It is with great sadness that we announce our dear friend, Luis Vasquez has passed away,” Soft Moon’s social media pages confirmed, without detailing a cause.

Please use testing kits if you're going to mess around. Be safe, be smart. RIP Luis Vasquez, you have left a mark on my soul forever with your sound.

Just dont do opioids, too much of a risk plus they are so addictive.

Don't do drugs

[@katayna_girl8468]

Or don’t be born. Don’t suffer. Don’t take risks. Don’t enjoy life. Don’t create amazing art for other people that actuality means something to them.

[@rickallen9099]

Hate to break it to you bud, but no matter who you vote for it will always be this way.

[@ThePostmort]

America period doesn't matter who's President. And I guarantee President Biden would have more empathy and compassion since he knows first hand all he went through with helping his son Hunter through addiction. Don't know if you're trolling or are part of your own addictions. Addicted to right wing hatred and division.Whatever your reasons, be respectful of the pains and tribulations others go through.
