2 Charged In Cape Cod Woman's Overdose Death

YARMOUTH, MA — Two men have been charged in connection with a Cape Cod woman's fatal overdose earlier this month. On March 6, police found the 53-year-old Yarmouth woman dead in her apartment on Alewife Circle in Swan Pond Village.

There were "obvious" signs of drug use at the scene — an uncapped needle, spoon with residue, a cotton ball and Narcan, Yarmouth police said in a statement. Investigators linked the drugs to 34-year-old Miles Taylor, of Brewster, and 33-year-old Todd Brown, of Chatham, according to police.

The men are charged with charged with conspiracy to violate the Massachusetts drug laws and distribution of a Class A drug (heroin/fentanyl). Taylor was arraigned in Barnstable District Court Friday and released on $2,500 cash bail.
