Saskatoon Police say emergency services responded to 5 overdoses within a 30 hour period on Friday and Saturday, including one that resulted in a death.

Police say four of the overdoses were the result of alleged illicit drug use.

Saskatoon Police reminds people that any any drug taken which has not been prescribed by a doctor, or dispensed by a pharmacist, poses a very serious risk of injury or death.

Anyone with information is asked to contact Saskatoon Police or Crime Stoppers.
