Narcan Given To Overdosing Man In Avon Lake

AVON LAKE, OH — Officers gave a man Narcan to save him from dying during a drug overdose, a police report said.

On Monday morning, police were called to a home near Bicentennial Park. When they arrived, they found a 23-year-old man overdosing.

Avon Lake police and firefighters arrived at the home simultaneously. They gave the 23-year-old Narcan — an anti-overdose drug used mostly in response to opioids — to revive him.
