Greensburg police charged two men with reckless endangerment and other offenses after accusing them of not calling an ambulance after a woman overdosed at a Greensburg home.

Nicholas Anthony Iapalucci, 31, of Greensburg, called Christopher Love, 43, of Southwest Greensburg, and requested opioid overdose antidote naloxone for his unconscious girlfriend on July 25, according to court papers. Samantha Bock, 28, later died, police said.

In addition to the reckless endangerment count, Iapalucci is charged with drug offenses, conspiracy and tampering with evidence. Love also is charged with drug offenses.

Police said they were called to Iapalucci’s home around 2:40 a.m. July 25 for a report of a man yelling in the street. Bock was taken to Excela Health Westmoreland Hospital, where she died two days later from a fentanyl overdose.

Investigators seized several stamp bags of heroin with different markings from the home. They also found more drugs in a vehicle after neighbors told police Iapalucci was seen putting items there and in the garbage before police arrived, according to court papers.

Officers learned that Bock and Iapalucci were at Love’s Guthrie Street home on July 24, hours before Bock’s overdose. Love told police that the trio bought heroin and split it up. At 12:45 a.m. July 25, Love awoke to a phone call from Iapalucci, who police said requested naloxone.

When Iapalucci believed Bock to be dead, Love said he told him to call 911 and left, police said. Westmoreland 911 has no record of a call made before a neighbor reported Iapalucci yelling in the street, according to court papers.

A summons was issued to Love. Iapalucci has not been arrested. Neither had an attorney listed in online court records.

Fentanyl remains the leading cause of drug overdose deaths this year in the county. There have been 73 drug overdose deaths in the county this year in which fentanyl played a factor, according to coroner statistics. The synthetic opioid, which is more powerful than heroin, has had a role in drug overdose deaths around the region for the past few years.

The coroner has confirmed 83 drug overdose deaths through Nov. 1 plus 18 more deaths being investigated as such.
