Suspected Drug Overdose Claims life of Rochester Man
Rochester, MN (KROC-AM News)- Rochester Police suspect a drug overdose claimed the life of a man who had just moved to Rochester this week.

Lt. Jennifer Hodgeman said officers responded to the reported overdose at a residence in the 4000 block of Sterling Ln. Southeast shortly before 11 p.m. Wednesday. Another person living at the residence called police to the scene.
Responding officers found an unresponsive male at the residence. Hodgeman said the officers delivered two doses of Narcan but could not save the life of the 30-year-old man.
Investigators do not know what substance the man had overdosed on, however Hodgeman said evidence seen at the home indicates drug use had taken place.
The man’s body has been sent to the Southern Minnesota Medical Examiner’s Office for an autopsy. Hodgeman says investigators are also awaiting the results of a toxicology report that can take up to six months to come back.
