BART police announced Saturday morning that a man died of a drug overdose at the Walnut Creek BART Station on Friday night. 

At approximately 8:04 p.m. Friday (April 12), officers performed a routine patrol check on a train. They then came across an unresponsive male whom they believed was experiencing a drug overdose, according to BART.

The officers administered one dose of Narcan, followed by life-sustaining measures, according to BART. Medics responded and while attempts were made to resuscitate the man, he was pronounced dead and was handed over to the coroner. 

There was no reason to believe there was foul play, according to BART. Police say narcotics paraphernalia was found on his person. 

No other details were immediately available.
