Man accused of causing death by supplying heroin
Earlier this year, a tragic incident occurred in Canberra where a woman lost her life due to a heroin overdose. The man responsible for her death has now been charged with multiple offenses.

It all started on June 5, when the woman was brought to North Canberra Hospital in an unconscious state. Despite the efforts of medical professionals, she was declared deceased shortly afterwards. This led to an investigation, which uncovered that the woman had willingly agreed to be injected with heroin by a 24-year-old man. It is alleged that the man fulfilled her request and administered the drug.

Unfortunately, the man's actions did not stop there. It is believed that he did not seek appropriate medical help for the woman and failed to administer the proper dose of Narcan, which is used to reverse the effects of opioids. As a result, the police have charged him with manslaughter.

This serves as a reminder for all illicit drug users to be aware of the dangers they face and to prioritize their safety. In case of an emergency, the police urge them to call Triple Zero for immediate assistance.
