GREENBURGH, NY — Greenburgh paramedics saved the lives of a husband and wife who had likely overdosed on opioids. The first-responders were at Michael’s craft store in Hartsdale Friday when a woman in her 30s was spotted with signs of an opioid overdose.
She was given Narcan and CPR was administered, and as she was being put into an ambulance she started calling out for her husband, who was found slumped over in a nearby car, News 12 reported.
Three doses of Narcan were used to bring him around.
