AUSTINTOWN — Police revived a man suspected of overdosing on heroin early this morning, according to a report.
Police were dispatched to a home on Claridge Drive where a mother discovered her son, who she told police had a history of heroin abuse, unresponsive in the basement.
Police administered two doses of Narcan, an opioid-overdose antidote, before paramedics arrived and administered an additional eight doses. The victim reportedly refused further medical treatment.
Officers said they recovered a silver spoon with suspected heroin residue and burn marks on it from a TV stand near the victim. Police found no other evidence of drug abuse.
