Two people died last week of heroin overdoses in Carver, and police there are urging residents suffering from drug addiction to seek help. “This insidious problem again shows how dangerous it can really be,” Police Chief Marc R. Duphily said Tuesday. The two Carver residents, a 33-year-old man and a 35-year-old woman, died in separate incidents Thursday and Saturday last week, police said. “We’ve had quite a problem with pills and heroin, and it bounces back and forth to whatever is more readily available,” Duphily said. Carver police are working to establish a phone and online tip line for residents to submit information on drug abuse.
