Hampden County District Attorney Anthony Gulluni issued a statement, saying that “With this tragic loss of life, I would like to highlight the ‘Good Samaritan Law’, which ensures that those who call 911 to report an overdose for themselves or others will not be charged with the possession or use of opiates. In addition, Naloxone or ‘Narcan’, the drug that can reverse the effects of an opioid overdose, is available over the counter in most pharmacies.”
