Officials Suspect Two Drug Overdose Deaths In Benzie County

Two more deaths in Benzie County are suspected drug overdoses.

The Benzie County Sheriff’s Department says officials believe a 22-year-old man likely died from an overdose Wednesday. They are also waiting on toxicology reports from the death of a 42-year-old man last week Wednesday, March 19th.

Already the county of 18,000 people has seen four overdose deaths confirmed in the last year and a half. County deputies have begun carrying a drug that can save the lives of overdose victims, if administered quickly.
