After a two month investigation into the overdose death of a 27-year-old Hanover woman, Hanover Police have arrested a 38-year-old man of no fixed address, identified as John “Kevin” McPhee.
As a result of this investigation, McPhee faces charges of Manslaughter, Trafficking in Fentanyl – two counts, Possession for the Purposes of Trafficking in Fentanyl and Possession of a Controlled Substance.
Police say McPhee made a court appearance Thursday and remains in custody.
Hanover Police say Fentanyl continues to be a significant public health risk across Canada and beyond that has claimed the lives of 28 people in Grey-Bruce during the past two years alone.
Police say the death investigation remains active and ongoing.
