The second overdose occurred just hours later around 6:45 a.m. on a front lawn at 72 Main St., when a woman stepped out of her vehicle and collapsed on the front lawn of the residence, police said.
The woman, thought to be around 30 years old, was taken to Frisbie Memorial Hospital and is thought to have survived the overdose.
