Facebook Live horror video shows desperate woman trying to save her boyfriend’s life as he overdoses on heroin in their car
A passerby found the pair slumped unconscious in the front seats on a residential street in Boston, US
A HARROWING Facebook Live video shows the moment a woman desperately tries to save her boyfriend's life after a heroin overdose in their car.
A passerby filmed the drama after finding the pair slumped unconscious in the front seats on a residential street in Boston, US.
A syringe is lying in the woman's lap as Junior JayRoc DiSola goes to confront the addicts, broadcasting the encounter online through his phone.
And he keeps filming as the woman wakes up, realises her lover is close to death and battles to revive him.
A small crowd gathers round the saloon car as a passerby knocks on the window.
One person says: "Yo they dead man, somebody call 911."
The woman in the driver's seat jolts awake and begins shaking her boyfriend's head trying to rouse him.
She dashes to the boot to get a shot of naloxone, an opiate blocker that some heroin users keep handy in case of an overdose.
The woman is seen lying the man back in his seat and injecting the antidote.
She then tries to resuscitate him by rubbing his chest and giving the kiss of life.
The man filming is heard asking: “Do you have a pulse?...The police are coming.”
The woman asks the man how long they had been sitting in the car.
He replies: “Ya’ll had been sitting here for a while and we could tell what ya’ll were up to.”
A Boston police officer arrives and helps in the effort to rouse the man.
Soon after he sits up and vomits into the road as his girlfriend cradles his head.
DiSola says: “I’m glad you came back, man.”
It is not known what condition the man is in or whether he was taken to hospital.
The video has been viewed more than 13million times on Facebook.
Earlier this month we told how a one-year-old boy was left fighting for life after overdosing on heroin at his mother's home in Ohio.
In January an aspiring actor broadcast his suicide on Facebook Live after being arrested for sexual assault in Los Angeles.
