2 arrested in Fond du Lac methadone OD death

FOND DU LAC, Wis. (AP) -- Investigators have arrested two people in the fatal methadone overdose of a 32-year-old Fond du Lac woman last December.

Police on Tuesday arrested a 50-year-old woman and a 52-year-old man, both from Fond du Lac.

Jennifer Ferstl was found dead in her home on Dec. 29. An autopsy found she died of a fatal dose of methadone.

Investigators say they were able to link both suspects to supplying the methadone that caused Ferstl's death. Police plan to seek charges of being party to first-degree reckless homicide against both suspects.

Im sick of people wanting to blame evoryone else if someone dies of an overdose. The person that died took the drug. She/he is responsible for thier own death.

  Of the many chemicals that people can be addicted to there is no end. The person that only "eats what is good" is only fooling themselves. They like the "addict" are fooled into thinking that their life is better by putting certain chemical combinations into their body, not realizing that they are starving their soul to death. Least we forget, we are NOT just mud and blood.
