Man facing charges after overdose

A Windsor man has been charged with manslaughter after a woman he allegedly supplied with drugs died of an overdose.

In December 2022, a 47-year-old woman was found dead at a home on Wilkinson Lane. An autopsy revealed she died of a drug overdose. Tests showed the drugs supplied to the victim contained a lethal dose of fentanyl.

The Major Crimes Unit launched an investigation to identify and locate the victim's drug provider.

Police identified a 27-year-old man as the suspect. Officers arrested him on Sunday on Lauzon Road near Hawthorne Drive and charged him with manslaughter.
