A man died on the evening of July 2 in the men’s restroom at the Englewood Public Library despite the use of Narcan, an antidote to opioid overdoses, in an attempt to revive him.
Englewood police and Denver medics were called at 6:02 p.m. on a report of an unresponsive man in the restroom, according to a statement from the city. Security personnel began life-saving efforts until police, Denver Fire and medics arrived.
Police officers arrived in less than two and a half minutes and began the administration of Narcan and cardiopulmonary resuscitation. Denver medics then arrived and took over the life-saving efforts, but the actions were unsuccessful and the man was pronounced dead at the scene.
The Arapahoe County Coroner’s Office transported the body for further investigation. The man’s name was not released at this time.
