West Region OPP said officers responded to 12 suspected opioid overdoses between May 1 and May 17.

"We found out that over three-quarters of people who died had stable residences," said Dr. Deena Hinshaw. "It's not the necessarily the picture of opioid deaths that some people might have in their head."

According to the OPP, on Feb. 9 at around 11 a.m., officers were called to a residence in Bracebridge after receiving a report of a death.
