Authorities in Ohio are searching for two drug dealers who allegedly left a mother of nine to die from a drug overdose, according to Middletown Police.
Investigators were called to a home Wednesday night where they found a woman dead from a fatal overdose of heroin, according to the department's Facebook page.
The woman was with “friends” who let her die in front of her nine children, police officials said on Facebook. The two men also stole money from the dying woman.
Police are looking for two white males, possibly a father/son team.
“It has disturbed us so much that it’s time for us to make a difference,” the police department’s social media post said. “Their father is a hard worker. He has tried to make ends meet, but it’s a vicious cycle.”
Middletown police are accepting donations of clothes, coats, blankets, food, a stove, a refrigerator, and toys for the children.
The kids range in age from 1-14, according to the police department. The girls are ages 14, 5, 3 and 1. The boys are ages 13, 11, 10, 6 and 2.
Donations have started to come, according to Middletown Police Chief Rodney Muterspaw.
Muterspaw said one donor gave $9,000 — $1,000 for each child.
