A 41-year-old man from Vineyard Haven was found dead at a Falmouth hotel on Monday, April 24. Police believe he died from an overdose.
According to Cape and Islands District Attorney’s Office spokesperson Russ Eonas, the man was found by hotel staff at the Inn on the Square.
Hotel staff notified the police a little before 9 am. Falmouth Police responded to the call.
At this time, it is unknown whether the man was a guest at the hotel. Eonas said foul play is not suspected, and it is not known yet what substances were used.
This case remains under investigation.
Why would you publish this? Shame on you.
why wouldn’t they publish this ?
Anytime a 41 year old islander dies in a hotel from a possible overdose it’s island news.
Unless of course, the Times makes a conscious decision to never mention anything about O.D’s
or the opioids crisis.
But then they would be obligated to not report any fatal automobile accidents that were alcohol related.
The Times didn’t even report his name, and only said the “police believe he died from an overdose”
Where’s the “shame” ?
Do you object to published obituaries ?
Overdose deaths are no longer news?
How about COVID deaths?
