Press Release
July 22, 2015
The Dover Police Department and the Office of The Chief Medical Examiner is
investigating the death of Gregory Sapp, 34, of 79 Horne Street, Dover.
Sapp was found unresponsive by a family member at approximately 5:08 PM on July 21,
2015. Dover Fire and Rescue personnel responded and attempted to revive Sapp but
were unable to do so.
While the cause and manner of Sapp’s death will ultimately be determined by the Office
of the Chief Medical Examiner, at this time it appears to be a drug overdose.
If in fact Sapp’s death is due to a drug overdose, it will be the sixth in Dover in 2015, all
of which are suspected to be heroin and/or fentanyl overdoses.
This case is being investigated by the Dover Police Department’s Special Investigations
Bureau. Anyone with information about this incident is asked to call the Dover Police
Department at 603-742-4646. Anonymous tips may be called into the Dover Crimeline at
