Tuesday morning at 2:16 a.m., police were called to a report of an unresponsive person at a residence in Eagle River.
First responders tried to save them, but the person was pronounced dead at the scene.
Investigators are working to determine the circumstances surrounding the death, and the source of any substances involved.
They remind the public illicit drugs may contain fentanyl or other highly potent synthetic opioids, significantly increasing the risk of overdose.
