California firefighters made a gruesome discovery over the weekend inside what they called a human-dug cave.
Two adult male bodies surrounded by a 'white powder substance' were found on Sunday morning in Northridge in the San Fernando Valley area of Los Angeles.
The white substance later tested positive for traces of fentanyl, officials said.
'Upon further discovery, we found a powder which, with the assurance of our hazardous material squad, we determined to have portions of fentanyl and were able to mitigate that and secure it, and we disposed of that,' said LAFD Chief Scott Hilton.
Firefighters made the finding while they were probing hazardous materials at an address for Pacifica Senior Living.
