A woman and a man died of apparent drug overdoses at Colonial Crest Apartments on Friday evening.

Emergency responders were sent to Apartment 17 of the apartment complex, at 703 W. Gourley Pike, at about 5:30 p.m. Friday.

A mother came home to find her daughter and her daughter’s boyfriend dead, Bloomington Police said.

“It is definitely related to drug overdose,” Detective Jason Shaevitz said.

Drugs and related paraphernalia were found inside the apartment. Further drug tests on the items have not yet been completed.

The Bloomington couple were in their early to mid-20s and were not Indiana University students.

Police said they believe that the Monroe County Coroner’s office notified the family.

Two ambulances were dispatched to the apartment last week after the pair overdosed within an hour. The autopsy for both people was scheduled for 9 a.m. this morning and the coroner’s office has yet to confirm a preliminary report.
