14-year-old girl dies after being injected with heroin by 26-year-old man [View all]


By Associated Press

A 14-year-old Alaskan girl has died six days after she was allegedly injected with heroin by a 26-year-old.

<...>

Warner tried to inject Jena, but failed, so he had her lie down on his bed and hold out an arm, then used his belt as a tourniquet and shot 25 to 30 units of heroin, taking several times to find a vein, the papers say.

The two witnesses told authorities they left the Jena on the bed and found her the next morning, face down in her own vomit.

<...>

Warner initially did not want to call 911 because of fears authorities would find drugs, and instead gave the teen Suboxone, a prescription drug used to treat opiate addicts, according to the court papers.

He only called 911 after Jena began to convulse a couple of hours after he gave her the Suboxone, the papers say.

Suboxone is a narcotic, not an anti narcotic Nikia Jan 2012 #7
Suboxone is a narcotic, but it's weak and reduces the effects of other narcotics. Saving Hawaii Jan 2012 #11
