One day after three apparent overdoses that left one woman dead, the House of Blues music hall in the Fenway neighborhood has re-opened, according to a House of Blues spokesperson. 

"All future events are currently planned to go on as originally scheduled," the venue has posted repeatedly on its Facebook page on Wednesday.

According to Boston Police, three people overdosed on MDMA, known by the street name "Molly," a form of ecstasy on Tuesday night during a DJ Zedd concert. The overdoses sent a 24-year-old woman and a man in his 20s to the hospital and killed a 19-year-old New Hampshire resident, authorities said, although official word on the cause of death is still pending toxicology results. 

Wednesday night's DJ Zedd show, the second show this week at the House of Blues, was cancelled, but a reggae show featuring Damien Marley and Stephen Marley was scheduled to go on. 

Boston.com has reported the victim of the fatal overdose was Brittany Flannigan, a 2012 graduate of Pinkerton Academy in New Hampshire, and a student at Plymouth State Academy. 

Suffolk District Attorney spokesperson Jake Wark said in a statement he investigation into Flannigan's death continues.

"The results of toxicological screens that may help in that endeavor are not expected for at least two weeks," he said. "In the meantime, no one has been arraigned in the court with jurisdiction in connection with the incident."
