Ironwood Public Safety and Beacon Ambulance were dispatched to a medical call in the City of Ironwood on Monday at approximately 10:20 a.m. Officers were advised that the victim was unresponsive and not breathing.

Prior to IPSD and Beacon staff arriving on scene, CPR was initiated by someone at the residence. Despite everyone’s effort the man passed away.

It is suspected at this time the incident may be related to heroin or other illegal controlled substance.

Officers from the Gogebic Iron Area Narcotics team assisted in the incident. In relation to the investigation, officers arrested a 34-year-old Minnesota woman. She was charged with delivering less than 50 grams of a mixture containing the controlled substance - heroin. The penalty for the charge is a 20-year felony and/or $25,000 fine. She is currently lodged at the Gogebic County Sheriff Department on a $100,000 cash bond.

The woman’s name will be released after she is arraigned.

At this time, officials cannot confirm the cause of death in this incident is actually due to a drug overdose, nor can they confirm at this time the actual drug that may be involved. Law enforcement hopes to have more information on the actual cause of death after receiving the results of testing by the medical examiner.
