A young man has died at his Woodcroft home from a possible drug overdose. An investigation has led police to another house and 1000 tranquilliser tablets.

Two people have been arrested with a haul of prescription pain killers as police continue to investigate the sudden death of a man from a suspected overdose

On Thursday morning a 22-year-old Woodcroft man was found dead in his home.

That same morning police raided a house in Ascot Park and seized 1000 Xanax tablets and 50 LSD tablets.

A 25-year-old man and a 21-year-old woman from Ascot Park were both arrested and charged with two counts of trafficking a commercial quantity of a controlled drug.

Thousands of Xanax tablets, a form of tranquilliser, were allegedly found in the home to two people on Thursday morning.

The man was also charged with supplying Xanax, a controlled drug.

The 22-year-old man and 25-year-old man were known to each other.

A report is being prepared for the coroner about the death of the 22-year-old man with investigators waiting on the result of a post mortem and forensic testing for traces of any drugs.

The man was refused bail and appeared in court today while the woman was bailed to appear in Christies Beach in February.

Xanax is a benzodiazepine tranquilliser and considered a controlled drug in Australia where it can only be acquired by prescription.
