Just after midnight on July 9, Officers and medical responded to the Pleasant Hill BART station regarding an unresponsive male onboard a train.
Medical arrived and ultimately declared the person deceased. The case is under investigation, however there is no foul play suspected at this time, according to BART Police.
This is the third death at a Contra Costa County BART station in the last three weeks.

I think by letting drugs flow freely into the country it is government’s way of culling the population. Face it if the Mexican army was sniping and killing US citizens over the border we would attack Mexico. They are killing many every day and the our government does nothing but talk. I bought a new US flag the other day but I felt weird hanging it up outside. Something seems to have gone wrong with our country.
Homeless drug addicts have been rejected by family for good reason. They take advantage of their mothers kind heart and cannot be trusted with anything. My best friend had such a sibling. Hope springs eternal from mothers broken heart.
Well said Doremi.
It can only be deliberate at this point
I stopped taking BART about five years ago when two young men were openly shooting heroin in a BART car with many passengers on board. This was at about 10:30 PM on a weeknight when my wife and I were coming home after a show in SF.
Two times in two weeks. Dope is for dopes.
I would argue the “ex-addict” part of that. I do not know how a person can be that narcissistic without using dope. All I see when he says something is cocaine and hair gel.

Where did the article say the individual died of a drug overdose?
@ Ann, … it didn’t.
The other deaths on BART the last few weeks were drug related.
So sadly, it’s kind of the first thing that comes to mind.
Homeless riding BART, overdoses or drugs hitting the area that are deadly.
It’s hard not to make assumptions on it, …. even if you try not to.
Will be waiting to see if Claycord posts or someone else will find out the cause of death.
Maybe they were victims of violent crime,not drugs…feel better now?
Wow crazy comments. Yes lots of drugs and homeless but there is also a huge spike in heart issues due to covid. The heart issues take 6-18 months to manifest and many people are not good about getting to the doctor for odd symptoms.
So either way they were killed by liberal apathy?
You must mean due to the vaccine for covid?
I think Bart should rename Pleasant Hill as
The Death Depot.
DING!
DING!
DING!
We have a winner!
Speaking of the drugs flowing across our southern border faster than the illegal immigrants from around the globe, who was that orange guy that had such a great success in reducing that? Can’t remember, but man do I miss that guy.
Well “the orange guy” is usually associated with Trump, but then if you look at the fentanyl related deaths they increased from 17,695 in 2016 to 53,480 in 2020.

Trump wasnt bed with China like your current president and his drug attic, son that’s who’s funneling in all the fentanyl and if I’m not mistaken, Trump tried to shut China down and build a wall because fentanyl is coming from the southern border, so don’t blame the orange guy blame the depend wearing basement bum and child sniffer And the rest of the Demorats
Well the fact is that from 2016 to 2020 the number of fentanyl related deaths in the US INCREASED about threefold. So you know are arguing that he tried but failed to reduce the numbers?
.
No wonder he was voted out of office.
learn how to read ,it tripled in 2020 forward,not from 2016 to 2023,but you liberals love to do this cuz someone,everyone on your team will just beleive it.
oops 2020 not 2023
When will you learn simple math should be the question? Here are the numbers of fentanyl related deaths in the US as provided by National Safety Council (I provide the link to it above)
.
2016: 17,695
2020: 53,480
2021: 67,325
.
2021 is the last year available on the nsc.org website
.
The increase from 2016 to 2020 is about 3 fold
The increase from 2020 to 2021 is about 1.25 fold
..
BTW I know you think it all has to do with “liberals” or “your team” because that’s what you hear all day on Newsmax. But believe me facts have nothing to do with “your team”.
Correction-From 2016 to 2020 it tripled,but so did my ability to type anything i was meaning to type.
If a liberal says the right are doing what the left is doing (and the right dont need to do this),the left will just blindly agree.
They have been lied to by their own people greatly since Obama came around,.
This why Marion Barry got re elected after being caught on camera buying and smoking crack,most either didnt believe or didnt care,as long as hes still a liberal.Liberals will do any fool thing to not let republicans clean up their city.To admit anything now is to admit 15 years of gulliblity.A drug test on the Whitehouse staff will never happen,or at least they will never tell you if they did,or if anyone got fired from it.They are not fans of letting the truth be known.They are all as high as Kamala.Someone needs to tell he not to eat the entire pack of giggle gummies.
JWB,

You chose to pick out selective data to make your point. Fentayl related deaths have increased over the last 5 presidential administrations. Fentanyl related death rate information shows that deaths have increased almost every year since 1999, the exceptions being a decline of 400-500 deaths in both 2007 and 2008 from the 2006 number of deaths, before rebounding in 2009 to a number greater than that of the 2006 death rate, and a decline of 300-400 deaths in both 2011 and 2012 from the 2010 number of deaths, before again rebounding in 2013 to a number greater than that of the 2010 death rate. Every year since 2013 the death numbers have increased each successive year through 2022.
So what is your point TBK? May I quote you? “Every year since 2013 the death numbers have increased each successive year through 2022.” How is that quote consistent with the posting to which I responded? May I recall for you that the original statement was: “who was that orange guy that had such a great success in reducing that?”
JWB,
.
I believe the “that orange guy” comment is a bit vague, I took it to be about illegal immigration “success” and not illegal drug “success.”
.
President Trump did work with China and got them to ban the production of fentanyl, unfortunately, they began exporting the precursor chemicals to Mexico for production there.
.
That just goes to show that President Polk made a mistake by not demanding all Mexican territory as a settlement for the Mexican-American War. He had a success in winning the war and a failure in not demanding all Mexican territory as the settlement to end the war.
.
The fact is that fentanyl deaths have increased each year from 1999 through 2022, with the exception of the negligible decreases in 2007, 2008, 2011, and 2012. You chose to only use data that made it look like fentanly deaths ONLY increased during the Trump administration, because you didn’t provide any context that fentanyl was a problem prior to President Trump and post President Trump. It’s the attempt to make President Trump look bad at any cost by not providing context. All presidents have successes and all presidents have failures.
Wow you just can’t admit that you’re wrong? Let’s see the posting I commented on started with: “Speaking of the drugs flowing across our southern border…..” So I’m sure that posting hat nothing to do with a false claim that the flow of drugs was successfully reduced by Trump?
.
I only used data to show that during the Trump administration fentanyl related deaths did NOT decrease in the US as was falsely claimed in the posting that I addressed.
.
But please feel free to point out where I stated that drugs were not a problem in other administrations?
.
But I have to wonder how you get through life? For example I note that there is a widget on the top left corner of this blog saying currently the temperature in Concord is 75 F, but it doesn’t list all the other places on the globe where the temperature too is 75 F it really makes it look like Concord is the only place in the world where the temperature is 75 F or not.
Or, if there is a posting of a drug related death in the area it doesn’t give any context about all the other deaths and their causes. I’m sure there are plenty of other deaths in Contra Costa County every day not related to drugs.
See how ridiculous your argument is? But don’t waste my time I made my point. Of course if you want the last word feel free but I will no longer respond to this line of arguments.
JWB,
.
I get through life just fine.
.
The original comment also stated “…faster than the illegal immigrants from around the gobe, who was that orange guy that had such a great success in reducing that?” Nice job at leaving that out, but typical of you.
.
The comment that you originally responded to never falsely claimed fentanyl deaths declined during the Trump administration, as you now claim. It was you that brought up fentanyl into the conversation.
.
It’s your convoluted way of thinking and obvious hatred for anything and everything related to President Trump that skew your preception, thinking, and comments that are the problem. Let go of the hatred and maybe you’ll be a little happier in life.
Any time someone dies its tragic. This individual likely has a family who is concerned no matter the circumstances.
No one cares about this drugie. Do it in private. Sounds like a person who hated living.
Oops BART loses another rider that is three this month. So sad.
Why all this speculation that his death was drug related when no such information has been made public. Too many uninformed individuals willing to jump to conclusions without all the facts. None of you have a clue as to who this person was, what kind of individual he was or anything else about him.
Seriously? Wow… wake up dude…
Speaking of jumping to conclusions, Robert Taylor has no idea who really knows what happened. He’s just speculating without any facts.
Do they scan their clipper card when they take them out of the station? They could use the money obviously.
Isn’t that like 4 in 2 weeks in CCC ? …. they found a new use for BART
where did it say he died of drug use? Where’s the compassion? where’s the humanity? This was someones son…Rip to this man no matter how he died
Progressives and their woke attitude destroy cities and communities. What’s not to understand?
I remember it as it was back in the 80s when I was commuting to my job in SF. Everyone was dressed nicely, reading or sleeping. No cell phones yet, and never saw anyone drunk or drugged, although that probably happened occasionally at night. I won’t ride it again.
Legendary comment 🙌
How long was he riding BART dead? At least they must patrol the the Bart trains once per day.
