Four Guests Overdose On Heroin At Bridgeview Super 8: Cops

BRIDGEVIEW, IL -- Police confirmed that four people overdosed on heroin Thursday morning at a Bridgeview motel. The four people, two males and two females, were taken to a nearby hospital. All four are alive after being revived by police with Narcan, a prescription medicine used to treat heroin overdoses.

“It worked,” said Ray Hanania, spokesman for the Bridgeview Police Department.

Around 11:30 a.m. March 1, Bridgeview police received a call of multiple overdose patients at the Super 8 Motel at 79th Street and Roberts Road. Police found paraphernalia and other evidence of drug use in the room.

Police notified other area hotels to be on the alert for suspected heroin use or unresponsive guests in their establishments.

“They called on the slight chance that it was tainted heroin,” Hanania said. “It may have been sold to other people. They reached out to everyone.”

Hanania did not know the individuals’ names or ages, other than they were apparently hanging out together.
