Three people have died and one person is in hospital as police warn of a "dangerous batch of drugs" - believed to be ecstasy.
A man in his 20s died on Thursday morning after being found seriously unwell in Rendlesham, Suffolk.
He received treatment at the property on Chestnut Close but could not be saved.
Two and a half hours later, at 9.40am, ambulance crews treated two more men at Provan Court, Ipswich.
One died at the scene, the other was taken to hospital in a critical condition.
The second dead man is also thought to be in his 20s.
Police are linking them to another suspected drugs-related death in Ipswich on Christmas Eve.
Chief Inspector Steve Denham told Sky News: "It's too soon to definitively link [all] the cases but we believe three of the young men have taken a tablet which they believed to be ecstasy.
"Three of them describe a red triangular pill with a Superman 'S' symbol embossed on the front.
"We're really concerned there's a batch of those pills."
He added: "If you have been offered drugs in the Ipswich area over the past few weeks, in particular ecstasy, we'd urge you to contact us with any information so that we can find those responsible and remove these dangerous drugs from the streets."
Chief Inspector Denham said the man taken to hospital was "thankfully doing better now".
Officers have drawn a link between the drugs and dangerous pills with a similar appearance sold in the Netherlands last month.
Those tablets had a large concentration of PMMA, which acts more slowly than MDMA, the main component of ecstasy.
This causes people to take more pills because they think they are not working.
PMMA can cause high body temperature and an increased heart rate.
