Two women have been charged in the overdose death of a Little Britain Township woman in 2019, according to Pennsylvania State Police.
Kenda Rochelle Hess, 35, of West Nottingham Township, Chester County, was charged with manufacture, delivery or possession with intent to manufacture or deliver; drug delivery resulting in death; aggravated assault and involuntary manslaughter; and Johanna Kim Demanche, 27, of Hallam, York County, was charged with manufacture, delivery or possession with intent to manufacture or deliver; drug delivery resulting in death and two counts of conspiracy.
Those charges stem from the death of Tessa Dietz, who was found unresponsive after an apparent overdose in the 300 block of Nottingham Road in Little Britain Township on Dec. 29, 2019, according to an affidavit of probable cause. Attempts to revive Deitz with Naloxone and CPR were unsuccessful.
