Police found his body Thursday inside his apartment on Ransom Road. Investigators believe he died of a drug overdose that may be linked to a dangerous form of heroin that appears to be making its way through the area.

Capt. Gregory Savage of the Erie County Sheriff's office said, "Some of the unused heroin that we covered from the scene is going to be tested at the central police services laboratory. They may be able to make a determination as to why this is happening, whether it's because the heroin itself isn't cut enough, it's too strong, or whether there is some cutting agent involved that may be poisoning these people."
