Police in Huntington say it's crucial that they find the supplier of "bad" heroin that's claimed several lives.

This comes after news of yet another overdose death from heroin. Police say Donald Wagoner of Proctorville, Ohio died on Monday.

This is the sixth death believed to be connected to the "bad" heroin since September.

Police say Wagoner may have gotten the heroin at a trailer park just outside the city limits of Huntington and then traveled back to Lawrence County, Ohio.

Wow. How could someone be so sick as to refer to a person's death in such an insensitive manner? "if it cleans the area up from dope heads it not "bad heroin" - You need help, anonymous. I guess all the obese people that die of heart attacks from eating at McDonald's deserve what they get? Any person with an addiction has a problem, a disease. It takes over the control that one has over him/herself. And maybe we should just rid of all the Anonymous people who don't know how to use a freaking capital letter while we're "cleaning up the area." Let's get rid of the smokers too, the ones who drive around with their kids in the car, choking and coughing. I think there are far worse things that a person can do than have an addiction. You need to re-examine your values, Anonymous. R.I.P. Adam Johnson- you are missed and loved.
