Cybercrime and narcotics police are to investigate the deaths of the nine, aged between 19 and 40, a police spokeswoman said.
Meanwhile, a tenth suspected victim of designer drugs was found dead in his girlfriend’s home in Łódź on Wednesday, a spokesman for the regional prosecutor’s office said.
The 28-year-old, who may have died as early as Tuesday, was found next to a glass pipe and small plastic bags containing a white powder, the spokesman added. (vb/pk)
