London, Ont. police have charged a man after a drug-related death in December 2021.
According to police, emergency services responded to a 9-1-1 call for an unresponsive man in a parking lot near Exeter Road and Wellington Road on December 21 around 4:40 a.m.
The man from Ilderton, Ont. — identified as Neil Harvey — was taken to hospital but was pronounced dead a short time later.
A post-mortem revealed the cause of death as a fentanyl overdose.
Harvey was a paramedic for Sarnia Lambton EMS and taught in the paramedic program at Lambton College. He’d been a first responder since the age of 18.
Harvey was 39-years-old and the father of a young son named Hunter.
But according to Harvey’s father, being a first responder took its toll and Harvey had been diagnosed with PTSD.
