Two people have been charged with second-degree murder in the death of a woman who died from an apparent overdose last year. Prosecutors in Davidson County are using a recent law to hold drug dealers more responsible for their actions
On Dec. 27, law enforcement responded to a 911 call reporting a possible overdose. When they arrived officers found 39-year-old Eva Beckom dead in a tent in a wooded area near the Walmart Express on U.S. Highway 64. A toxicology report later revealed the cause of death was a drug overdose caused by acute fentanyl toxicity.
