Police investigating the deaths of Chris LeCouvie and his girlfriend — both found dead Monday in their Hull apartment — have told his family that the couple overdosed and had been dead for at least two days while his three-year-old son fended for himself in the second-floor unit.

“I was surprised that it was an overdose because he had been doing so good for so long and had been sober for a long time,” said sister Kelly Gould.



She said police told her they are still waiting for toxicology results to determine what drug or drugs caused the untimely deaths.

By all accounts, LeCouvie, 33, had a troubled life, bouncing around foster homes as a child, and later jail cells as an adult. But he managed to turn his life around when his son was born three years ago.

“His son was his life and he loved him more than anything. His son saved his life and gave him purpose,” Gould said.

LeCouvie was always trying to help people even when he couldn’t help himself, his sister said.
