The man was hospitalised after being found unresponsive earlier this week.
A man, who was hospitalised after being found unresponsive in a homeless hostel in Offaly, has died.
Aged in his early 20s, he became unwell at the Clonamore Hostel in Tullamore on Monday afternoon, and was taken to the Midlands Regional Hospital Tullamore in a critical conditon.
A second man, in his early 30s, who was also taken to hospital, has now been discharged.
Two women died at the accommodation centre earlier this week - it's believe their deaths may have come from taking fake Xanax tablets.
Gardaí in Tullamore investigating the deaths, have commenced searches in Tullamore and Portarlington this morning, supported by the Laois-Offaly Divisional Drugs Unit, Regional Armed Support Unit and the Garda Dogs Unit.
Local Fianna Fail councillor Tony McCormack is expressing his condolences:
