It was every mother's worst nightmare... The woman told police that her son's friends left abruptly and that was when she found her son unconscious and barely breathing.

When the mother went to call 9-1-1, a knock on the door revealed that one of the friends called police on their way out the door. Police entered the room of the 20 year old son and found a syringe along with a belt that had been used around his arm.

The son was rushed to St. Thomas Rutherford Hospital where he regained consciousness. Officers spoke with the 20 year old who admitted to using heroin.

It is unknown who the friends are as the man would not tell police their names. The mother further stated that she only knew one by their first name.

At this point, no charges have been filed.

As you have heard in past newscast, heroin users are growing in numbers in Middle Tennessee. Just last week, Mark Gwyn the Director of the TBI stated while visiting Murfreesboro...

In this most recent case of an accidental heroin overdose, it is not known if the illegal drug was laced with Fentanyl.
