The man told the officer he briefly left the residence to buy cigarettes. When he returned, his brother asked if he was making coffee because he could hear water running. The man realized running water was from the bathtub water running but the woman did not respond after he knocked on the door.
He went in and found her unconscious in the bathtub lying face down and unresponsive. The man and his brother pulled her out of the tub, started CPR and called 911. The man said he was aware she had a drug problem and suspected a heroin overdose, according to police.
Officers did not find any paraphernalia.
