Sullivan County victim saved by Narcan

Posted

LIVINGSTON MANOR, NY — On January 31 at approximately 10:40 p.m., Sullivan County Deputy Sheriff Sean Grady responded to a report of a possible overdose at the Willowemoc Motel on DeBruce Road in Livingston Manor. At the scene, the deputy found a 32-year-old male who was unresponsive in the bathroom of one of the motel’s units. The victim was not breathing and had no pulse. The deputy interviewed witnesses at the scene and quickly determined that the victim had used heroin at another location before arriving at the motel.

Grady administered Narcan to the victim who, according to the witnesses, had been unconscious for close to 30 minutes. Mobile Medic Ambulance soon arrived and administered a second dose of Narcan. As soon as the victim regained consciousness, he was transported to Catskill Regional Medical Center, where he was expected to make a full recovery. While no criminal charges are pending at this time, the matter is still under investigation by the sheriff’s office. New York State Troopers assisted at the scene.
