Oakland County Sheriff's deputies on Tuesday, October 31, revived a 39-year-old Rochester Hills man who was believed to be suffering from a drug overdose in the 500 block of Driftwood, authorities said.

Deputies responding about 3:51 p.m. to a 911 caller who said her brother was unconscious and unresponsive on the floor of his bedroom arrived to the home and conducted emergency medical activities.

The caller said her brother had a history of drug abuse and she believed he may have been overdosing at the time of the call.

The man was transported by the fire department to Troy Beaumont Hospital for treatment.
