A Metro UK report has shown that four young children found their parents dead from suspected drug overdoses in the morning after they were not woken up for school.
Airline pilot Brian Halye, 36, and his wife Courtney, 34, are believed to have taken a high quantity of fentanyl – a synthetic opiate much stronger than heroin.
A tragic 911 call released by police revealed the moment a 13-year-old boy told the call operator that he woke up to find the couple on the floor.
He added: ‘My sister said they are not waking up. They’re not breathing… They were very cold.’
He said that one of his sisters said his father was pale with black lines in his face.
The children – aged between nine and 13 – made the discovery at their home in Centreville, Ohio, on Thursday, reports the Mirror.
The couple each had two children from a previous relationship and the father of Mrs Hayle died from an accidental drug overdose in 2007 at the age of just 27.
Mr Hayle’s two children have been taken in by their mother, while the other children are said to be being looked after by family, Dayton Daily News reported.
Mr Halye was a pilot for Spirit Airlines for nine years.
The company said in a statement: ‘Captain Hayle served at the airline for just over nine years.
‘Our hearts go out to the family, friends and colleagues of Captain Halye.’
It may take up to six weeks for a toxicology report to determine cause of death.
