Narcan Needed In Simultaneous Cape Cod Overdose: Police

YARMOUTH, MA — Two men were hospitalized after they lost consciousness at a local bar and at needed Narcan to be revived, police said.

Yarmouth police responded to a restaurant on Thursday evening for an unconscious man who was not breathing, officials said. Yarmouth fire officials were also present and treating that man for an overdose when officers "quickly identified another man was suffering from the effects of a potential overdose," police said.

Officials revived the unconscious man after conducting CPR and administering Narcan. The other man was also administered Narcan after he collapsed, officials said.

The two patrons had been sitting at the bar when one of them lost consciousness and passed out on his friend’s shoulder. An employee and other patrons noticed the emergency and helped place the unconscious man on the ground and began CPR.

While CPR was administered the second man collapsed on the ground, police said.

Officers were able to determine that both men had voluntarily ingested drugs before entering the restaurant. Both were unsure about what they had ingested and were transported to Cape Cod Hospital for evaluation.
