WHITE SETTLEMENT – White Settlement police responded to four overdose emergencies over two days, at a substance abuse treatment facility in late March. The calls happened in the two days before Fort Worth public safety agencies responded to four suspected overdoses at a halfway house in that city.

The DEA is actively investigating concerns from additional cities, involving similar facilities and similar substances suspected in the overdoses.

One man died at ABODE Treatment in White Settlement, just before 7 a.m. on Sunday, March 26. The Tarrant County Medical Examiner's office identified him as 44-year-old Kamal Knight. Another resident was revived with Narcan and transported to a hospital, according to WSPD Chief Chris Cook.
