(CNN) California Democratic Rep. Ted Lieu said he will donate more than $18,000 in campaign contributions from Ed Buck, a prominent Democratic donor who is being investigated following the second death at his home since the summer of 2017. The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department said a man was found dead at Buck's home in West Hollywood, California, early Monday morning. In July 2017 a man identified as Gemmel Moore was determined to have fatally overdosed at the same location, authorities said. In a statement, Lieu said he was "deeply disturbed by the latest revelations" of a second death at Buck's home, and said he would donate the funds to LGBTQ and African American civil rights organizations. Lieu said he will donate $5,000 each to Lambda Legal and the NAACP; $3,000 each to GLAAD and The Trevor Project; and $2,500 to Equality California Institute.
