Drugs suspected in death of man found in Northfield apartment

Northfield police were called around 4 a.m. yesterday to the 300 block of Division Street on a report of a man not breathing. On arrival they found a 39-year-old man unresponsive. They attempted CPR and EMS assisted with other life-saving measures as well as [administering] naloxone, none of which worked and he was pronounced dead at the scene. There were four other adults in the apartment at the time. A preliminary investigation indicates drug use may be involved.
