Parents Found Dead By Children, What's On Dad's Face Reveals A Hidden Secret No One Knew About

An Ohio family is in mourning after four kids found their dead parents on the floor of their home.
As reported by WLWT, Brian and Courtney Halye were discovered dead after Courtney Halye’s son and daughter and Brian Halye’s two daughters got up for school. “I just woke up and my two parents are on the floor. My sister said they’re not waking up,” Courtney Halye’s 13-year-old son said in a 911 call. “They’re not breathing… They were very cold.”
According to Daily Headlines, the boy also told the 911 operator that his father was “pale” with black lines all over his face. “At the scene, we did locate drug paraphernalia, which leads us to believe this is drug-related,” said Centerville police Officer John Davis.

Ken Betz, director of the Montgomery County coroner’s office, said it was likely a lethal dose of a heroin-fentanyl mixture. Frighteningly, since January, 165 others have died of accidental overdoses in Montgomery County.
Perhaps the most shocking aspect of this case, aside from the fact that the couple’s children were the ones who discovered their lifeless bodies, is that the mother and father appear to be the last people who would have this sort of debilitating drug problem. In fact, Brian Halye had worked for Spirit Airlines as a pilot for more than nine years.
Though heroin was once a problem associated with impoverished inner cities, the demographics of opioid addiction have changed dramatically in recent years. Now, nearly 90 percent of first-time heroin users are white.
Our nation is in the midst of an unprecedented opioid epidemic. More people died from drug overdoses in 2014 than in any year on record, and the majority of drug overdose deaths (more than six out of ten) involved an opioid.1 Since 1999, the rate of overdose deaths involving opioids—including prescription opioid pain relievers and heroin—nearly quadrupled, and over 165,000 people have died from prescription opioid overdoses.2 Prescription pain medication deaths remain far too high, and in 2014, the most recent year on record, there was a sharp increase in heroin-involved deaths and an increase in deaths involving synthetic opioids such as fentanyl.

“This knows no demographic. It doesn’t matter how much you make or where you live or how educated you are. It crosses every line, and that’s probably what’s most frustrating,” said Officer Davis. “It is an unfortunate reality in the world we live in right now. I can’t put it into words. It’s hard to imagine as a parent, as a police officer, as just a person. It’s just hard to comprehend.”
The Halyes’ four children, ages 9, 10, 11 and 13, are all staying with other relatives at this time. Our hearts go out to them as they grieve the senseless deaths of their parents.
