West Shore RCMP praised a Langford business for its quick response to a drug overdose in its bathroom on Sunday, saying a woman’s life was saved as a result.
The business in the 700-block of Goldstream Avenue, near the intersection with Veterans Memorial Parkway, contacted police after the woman locked herself in a bathroom and was not responding to staff. Officers got through the door and found her slumped over a toilet with a faint pulse, and with evidence of drug paraphernalia in the area.The woman began to wake up and became responsive, and was monitored by police until paramedics arrived and transported her to hospital for further treatment.“We want to thank both the business staff and RCMP officers for their quick actions which resulted in the woman’s life being saved,” said Const. Andrew Matheson.
