The Danville Police Department responded to and is now investigating two reported death incidents which are suspected of being the result of unintentional drug overdoses on Sunday.

As a response to these overdose deaths, the Danville Police Department would like to remind the public of the dangers of using illegal substances including cocaine, heroin, methamphetamines, Fentanyl, and unknown pills, as well as what may appear to be prescription pills. The Police Department’s Special Investigations Section has seized drugs in the recent past with an increase in the presence of Fentanyl mixtures, as well as pure Fentanyl.

All illegal drugs carry a high risk of overdose or death and the police department understands the serious threats associated with being the victim of addiction of all types. Although the exact mixture and source of today’s overdoses is still being investigated, the deaths are a serious reminder of the unknown content when purchasing, ingesting, or even being present around suspected illegal drugs.

If you or someone you know needs help or has information on illegal deadly drugs in the City of Danville they wish to share, please contact the Danville Police Department through any platform. The platforms include calling patrol at 799-6510, investigations at 799-6508, or calling 911.
