Playboy Mansion -- More People Sick

I didn't initially report on this story because, it didn't sound valid. It seemed like more of a rumor but, now other sources are carrying the story and are reporting that more people have come forward claiming they became ill after attending a party at the Playboy Mansion.

The number of people who became sick after attending or working at a party at the Playboy Mansion has climbed to 170, according to the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health.

That's up from 100 people who originally reported being sick.

The guests became ill after attending a fundraising event at the mansion on Feb. 3, which was part of the annual DOMAINfest Global conference.

The 3-day conference took place at the Fairmont Hotel in Santa Monica. On the second night, there was a party at the Sky Bar on Sunset Boulevard in West Hollywood, and on the third night, the finale party took place at the iconic Playboy Mansion.

Within 48 hours after leaving the mansion, scores of attendees reported coming down with symptoms including fever, respiratory problems and violent headaches.

Victims reportedly started tweeting and posting their symptoms on Facebook, and that's when many noticed a trend.

Playboy is denying everything and they are cooperating with an investigation.
