A New Jersey man was found dead in a Bowling Green hotel room Tuesday morning, with overdose suspected as the cause.
Bowling Green Police Division officers were called to a hotel on East Wooster Street for a man who was not breathing and had no pulse. Bowling Green Fire Division advised the 45-year-old man was deceased.
A co-worker of the deceased said they were in Bowling Green working as contractors. The co-worker said he became concerned when the victim did not meet the crew at their work truck.
The man got a room key from the front desk, and reportedly found his co-worker laying face down on the floor. He called 911 and reportedly performed chest compressions until BG Fire Division arrived on the scene.
Officers found several empty beer and alcohol bottles and cans in the room, plus a white powdery substance and two vials with a liquid substance inside. Some syringes also were located in the suitcase.
The body was transported to the Lucas County Coroner’s Office for autopsy.
