An Ohio man and his partner both overdosed on heroin with the children present, in different locations. Police say Nathan Carroll, 29, was in his car with an infant while 24-year-old Samantha Schigel was nearby in their Lorain home with the other children on Monday when they OD’ed, cops said.
Carroll was found in the vehicle after driving off the road and he “showed commonly recognized signs of a heroin or opiate overdose,” cops said. He had nearly a struck a tree, according to Lorain cops.
When speaking with Carroll, an officer noted his “drowsy demeanor” and “droopy” eyelids. They gave him naloxone and transported him to a hospital. The child was unharmed.
Following up, officers went o the couple’s home to advise Schigel to come to the scene. A young girl answered the door and said her mother was upstairs.
The child said “mommy was sleeping and they could not wake her up,” the officer reported: “I then observed the female later identified as Samantha Schigel at the top of the stairwell begin swaying,” a Lorain officer wrote in the police report. “I assisted the female downstairs to speak with her and could immediately tell that she was under the influence of a narcotic. Her pupils were the size of needle points and she could barely stand.”
