Deputies and medics arrived at a home in the 300 block of Ohio Street in New Carlisle this morning, May 2, to find a 23 year-old woman dead of an apparent heroin overdose.

Cynthia Haney, who was reportedly six-months pregnant, was found dead in her room in the Ohio Street residence just after 11 a.m. after her uncle tried to get her to attend to her son. The uncle said he observed Haney enter her room around 8 a.m., and found her dead around 11 a.m.

Medics reportedly entered Haney's room to find her sitting on a bed with the right side of her face resting against a dresser. An uncapped syringe was found in her right hand along with what appeared to be empty gel capsules on the floor and dresser.
