Man held in drug case after girlfriend dies - JSOnline: "The body of Jessica Schmidt, 23, was found early Friday by Michael P. O'Brien in the apartment the couple shared in the 2000 block of Sylvan Way, according to a criminal complaint.

O'Brien, 25, was charged Monday with possession of heroin, marijuana and drug paraphernalia. He is being held at the Washington County Jail on $10,000 bail.

According the complaint:

O'Brien told police he and Schmidt had driven to Milwaukee, near Miller Park, on Thursday to buy two quarter-gram bags of heroin for $100 then returned to their apartment and injected some of the drug. After cuddling together in front of the TV, they fell asleep about midnight, O'Brien told police. But when he awoke around 3 a.m. and tried to wake Schmidt, she was not responsive.

His mother, who was also living in the apartment, heard him scream for help and saw him injecting Schmidt with Narcan, a drug used to counteract overdoses of opiate drugs such as heroin, according to the complaint. He also had tried CPR on Schmidt, the complaint says, but neither lifesaving effort was successful."
