HEROIN OVERDOSE SUSPECTED IN DEATH OF ALLEN MAN, 18

Heroin overdose is suspected in the death of an 18-year-old Allen man whose
friends dropped him off at Presbyterian Hospital late Saturday, Dallas
policy said. Joshua Austin Harman, who had gone into cardiac arrest when
his friends left him at the hospital, died at 9:18 p.m., according to a
police report.

Police said that they thought Mr. Harman and some friends had been using
drugs at a northeast Dallas apartment when he passed out. Police said an
autopsy would determine whether heroin had caused his death.

At least 15 Dallas-area people have died from heroin overdoses in the last
year. All but two of them were younger than 25.
