Another Near-Death Overdose From Fentanyl Over The Weekend

Just before 8am Sunday Ocean Shores Police were called out to the Lighthouse Suites Inn for a possible overdose.

Another near-death overdose from fentanyl happened over the weekend in Grays Harbor.  Just before 8am Sunday Ocean Shores Police were called out to the Lighthouse Suites Inn for a possible overdose.  When officers arrived, they found a 67-year-old man unconscious with his girlfriend telling police he tried to smoke fentanyl.  While EMS was enroute, police administered 2 doses of the medicine Narcan before the man regained consciousness. Police say at first, the man refused to go to the hospital to be checked out but was eventually convicted by his girlfriend to go.  Officers believe the pair were staying in their car and not at the hotel.
