Fort Lee police were called to the Skyview Motel on eastbound Route 46 at 1:41 p.m. Nov. 14, the prosecutor said.

They found five apparent overdose victims going in and out of consciousness, he said.

The officers deployed Narcan while conducting CPR, Musella said.

Two of the victims -- apparently in their 30s -- were pronounced dead at Englewood Hospital and Medical Center, responders said. Three others were hospitalized, they said.

The victims’ names are being withheld pending notification of next of kin.

Musella's detectives are investigating along with Fort Lee police.
