A 'Vanderpump Rules' cameraman was among three men arrested in connection with the mysterious deaths of two women whose bodies were dumped outside of Los Angeles hospitals.
According to reports, three Hollywood partygoers were busted for the November deaths of Christy Giles, and Hilda Marcela Cabrales-Arzola. Los Angeles Police Department announced that three men were charged in connection with the incident, including one for manslaughter and the two others for being an accessory to manslaughter.
"It is believed that both women were given drugs and overdosed," LAPD said. Adding, "Based on the investigation, the LAPD is concerned that there could be other victims in our community who could have been drugged by one or more of these men."
Amongst the suspects, two of them worked in the entertainment business, including the 'Vanderpump Rules' cameraman and an employee working on 'NCIS: Los Angeles.' According to reports, one of the men was arrested on the set of the popular show, while they were shooting on Hollywood Boulevard. One of the men is charged with manslaughter and is being held on a million dollars bail.
Hollywood Partygoers Accused Of Dumping The Woman's Bodies
Investigators revealed a friend of the group divulged the information about the men partying with the women and later dumping their bodies. "I have had the craziest weekend of my life," one of the messages read. "He told me how they’d partied, two girls came back to their place, and the girls had a bunch of drugs." At the time, the man left his apartment to get a COVID-19 test for a commercial shoot, and when he returned his roommate informed him that Giles was dead.
"He checked her pulse, freaked out, decided not to call 911, and they decided what to do with the body," the friend told the New York Post.
Adding, "Then they didn’t know what to do, they didn’t want to call 911 and get in trouble, so they decided to drive and drop her body at Culver City hospital."

"He was like, ‘we dropped the first girl off, we came back to our place’ then he checked the second girl’s pulse and it was very faint, so they tried to decide what to do with the second girl," the friend revealed. Adding, "Got her in the car and decided to drop her off at a second hospital so they didn’t get caught."
According to reports, Arzola was found to have heroin in her system, but both women's families are alleging the pair had been drugged and assaulted the night in question.
Giles' husband confirmed the arrests and says the model and aspiring actress was found dead on a sidewalk outside of Southern California Hospital in Culver City, Arzola was found unconscious outside of Kaiser Permanente West Los Angeles hospital two hours later. Cabrales-Arzola died after more than two weeks in a coma, after her family took her off life support the day before her 27th birthday.
Police Investigation Into The Model's Deaths Is Ongoing
As for the charges, LAPD claims two men were seen in a vehicle dropping of the bodies of the two women at the hospitals. The group reportedly met at a warehouse party in East Los Angeles and the group went back to one of the men's apartments.
"We would like anyone with any more information about them to come forward to the LAPD as soon as possible," cops said. Adding, "This is an active and ongoing investigation."
