Suicide Attempt Overdose Reported in Sharon Township, Potter County
COUDERSPORT, Pa. – Pennsylvania State Police (PSP) Coudersport Patrol Unit released a public information report concerning a suicide‑attempt overdose that occurred on August 23, 2026, in Sharon Township, Potter County.
The incident, logged as case number 2026‑1067093, was investigated by Trooper Smith, M. (badge 15421, employee ID 809075). At approximately 5:45 p.m., PSP received a call reporting an active drug overdose on Honeoye Road. Troopers were dispatched to the scene.
Before the troopers arrived, the Shinglehouse Ambulance Association had already transported the victim, a 15‑year‑old male resident of Shinglehouse Borough, Potter County, to medical care. PSP investigators later determined that the overdose was a suicide attempt. Members of the Shinglehouse Fire Department and the Shinglehouse Ambulance Association assisted on‑scene with emergency response and patient care.
No arrests were made, and no criminal charges have been filed at this time. The investigation remains open, and PSP officials indicated that additional details may be released as the inquiry progresses.
Because the matter involves a personal health crisis rather than a prosecutable offense, there are no bail conditions, court hearings, or judicial assignments associated with this case. The PSP public information release emphasizes transparency while noting that the information is preliminary and subject to change as further investigative findings emerge.
Authorities continue to monitor the situation and will provide updates should new information become available. As always, the presumption of innocence applies, and the matter is being handled by the Pennsylvania State Police under the jurisdiction of Potter County.
