Due to the emergency responders and Narcan, no one died. Officials said a 6-year-old boy was in the auto with his father, who passed out in the gas station’s parking lot.

A large number of overdoses has also been reported in a southeast in county, about 75 miles west of Cincinnati. I got him calmed down, gave him a toy to play with and he said his mom’s in jail and he lives with his grandma. Narcan was administered in all overdose situations. However, some public health officials fear it has caused an increase in the number of overdoses among addicts who know they can be revived from ever higher drug doses.
