Two Middletown men are charged with involuntary manslaughter after a woman overdosed on heroin and died Monday morning, according to Middletown police.

Kenneth Moore, 35, of Greentree Road, and Jerry Orender, 27, of South Clinton Street, were charged with the first-degree felonies after Jennifer Beverly, 30, of Greentree Road, was found unconscious and not breathing in the car Moore was driving in the 2000 block of Central Avenue.

Around 1 a.m., Moore called 911 and told the Middletown dispatcher that Beverly, his girlfriend, was robbed in an apartment in the 700 block of South Clinton Street and she possibly overdosed. Moore said Beverly was not breathing and he was driving her from the high-rise apartment to Middletown Regional Hospital on McKnight Drive. The dispatcher told Moore that hospital was closed and he needed to pull over and wait for Middletown police.

The dispatcher asked if Beverly was dead and Moore said: “I don’t know.”

He couldn’t tell the dispatcher where he was driving on Central Avenue and he later told the dispatcher that he was giving Beverly CPR and he could be heard saying, “Hold on baby.”

Beverly, who was in the front passenger seat, was taken to Atrium Medical Center where she was pronounced dead around 1:30 a.m., Middletown police said. Her autopsy was performed Monday afternoon and the results were unavailable, the Warren County Coroner’s Office said.

Lt. Scott Reeve of the Middletown Division of Police said the investigation revealed that Beverly was not robbed in the apartment. He said Middletown police were called to the same apartment on Saturday for a report of a drug overdose. Matthew Adkins, 22, of Middletown, was charged with drug abuse/instruments.

Reeve said investigators believe those in the apartment Monday morning may have been scared to notify police when Beverly overdosed because police were there the night before.

He called it a “tragic case.”

Beverly’s parents were notified by Middletown detectives Monday, Reeve said. He said Beverly was a single mother.

Moore and Orender were charged with involuntary manslaughter, obstruction of justice and tampering with evidence, Reeve said. Both remain in Middletown City Jail with bonds of $100,000 — $50,000 for involuntary manslaughter and $25,000 each for tampering and obstructing, according to court records.
