Virginia police looking for man who sold heroin to overdose patient in hospital

Police in Alexandria, Va., are looking for a man who delivered heroin to a patient in a local hospital while he was being treated for an overdose, leading him to overdose again, according to NBC Washington.

A man was saved from heroin overdose with Narcan treatment last summer, but less than 24 hours later, he overdosed in his hospital room after Michael Filipowicz allegedly signed in as a guest and delivered heroin to the room.

Police are still searching for Mr. Filipowicz but have charged an accomplice, Dana Gotliffe, with conspiracy to distribute heroin.
