The 25-year-old woman that was in hospital as a result of an overdose on the weekend has passed away.

At approximately 10:30 a.m., March 10, 2018, a 911 call was received from a home in the 300 block of Avenue W North where two women, ages 25 and 48 were located. The 48-year-old woman was declared deceased at the scene. The 25-year-old was unresponsive and transported to hospital where she succumbed to her injuries on the evening of March 14, 2018.

The Saskatoon Police Service is reminding members of the public that may have purchased cocaine that they can turn it in to Police at the Service Centre so it can be properly disposed of. The SPS is interested in the health and safety of the public, not in the laying of criminal charges. To date, no one has turned in any drugs to Police.

Police are also continuing to advise the public of the dangers of taking any drugs not prescribed by a doctor, or dispensed by a pharmacist.

The Saskatoon Police Service continues to investigate these incidents.
