The Lyon County Sheriff’s Office (LCSO) reported the discovery on Monday, May 13, of two individuals found deceased in what appears to be an overdose incident in Fernley.
Emergency responders were summoned to an address on Jessica Lane in Fernley around 4:30 p.m. after receiving reports of an unconscious and unresponsive man. The LCSO with the North Lyon Fire Department rushed to the scene. Upon arrival, authorities encountered three adults within the residence, all exhibiting symptoms consistent with a drug overdose.
Despite immediate efforts to revive them, two individuals were pronounced dead at the scene. The third person was taken to Renown Regional Medical Center for additional medical treatment.
A subsequent search of the premises unveiled evidence pointing to recent illicit drug use by all three individuals. However, authorities are not naming the specific substance(s) involved.
Approximately eight hours later, LCSO deputies were once again dispatched, this time to a residence on Wedge Lane in Fernley, where they encountered the same individual who had been transported to Renown earlier, now found unresponsive again. Emergency measures resulted in their revival before being transported to the hospital for additional treatment.
LCSO has refrained from publicly divulging the identities of the individuals involved in these incidents.
