Rangel also did not know the condition of the man who survived.
"There's no threat to the community," Rangel said.
Lt. Keith Krallman told reporters police suspect illegal drugs were involved in the deaths.
"There are illegal drugs suspected right now, and usually illegal drugs sometimes contain fentanyl," Krallman said.
SUGGESTED: Fentanyl-induced overdoses increasing, more drugs being laced with it
Fentanyl has not been confirmed, but a hazardous materials team was sent to the crime scene "out of an abundance of caution" to process the evidence, Krallman said.
Newport Beach is located about 40 miles southeast of Los Angeles. Balboa Island is in Newport Bay.
Additional details were not immediately available.
