GRAND HAVEN, Mich. — Narcan was used to save the life of a man who had overdosed on heroin Saturday.

At 11:27 a.m. Saturday, Grand Haven Department of Public Safety officers responded to an address on Nathan's Way on a report of a possible drug overdose where the caller was unsure if the person was breathing.
