News article from Atlantic City, NJ reports six deaths to suspected Heroin overdoses in most recent week.  First half contains news and second half contains marketing data for various rehab facilities/options.

Sadly, the referenced article features a photograph of the wrapper in which this particular "Heroin" was marketed.  Stamped in red ink, on the outside of the wrapper are the words: "King of Death," along with an image of a crown.

The article is followed by dueling comments in which persons who are sympathetic to Substance Use Disorder persons condemning those who show no sympathy.  The sympathizers also condemn the marketing aspect of the "news report" and lament the lack of treatment facilities in Atlantic County and claim that Cape May County has a much larger problem with persons having Substance Use Disorder and zero treatment facilities.
