The Scioto County Coroner and PPD Detectives are investigating the death of a man on 11th Street.
Just after 4 a.m. on Sunday morning, the Scioto County Sheriff’s Office told Portsmouth Police they’d received two 9-1-1 hangup calls about a potential overdose at an 11th Street residence.
EMS and police responded to the home, and medics confirmed the individual was indeed deceased. Officers sent for a detective and contacted the coroner. Officers also notified the next of kin.
Members of the Portsmouth Fire Department assisted in transferring the deceased to a coroner’s transport van, and detectives took photos and information as part of the investigation.
