A New Bedford man is dead of an apparent drug overdose.

New Bedford Police Detective Captain Steven Vicente tells WBSM News a 51-year-old man was found unresponsive in the bed of his Mitchell St. apartment around 3pm Sunday after receiving a call for a potential overdose.

The man, who's name has not been released, was declared dead on the scene. Vicente says evidence of drug use was found near the body.

Police responded to the same address on February 2 for a potential drug overdose. On that date, Narcan was administered to the same man who was found dead by police yesterday.
