LA CROSSE- One person is dead after three heroin overdoses took place over the last three days. The death occurred on the second day, June 28. La Crosse police responded to the home of the victim and found that the victim had been deceased for some time.
According to the police department, evidence found at the scene indicated heroin use. An autopsy is scheduled to determine an official cause of death.
