Daniel Corkery

By Herald Staff

WILDWOOD – A May 2 overdose death led to an arrest of Daniel Corkery, 18, of Wildwood.
Police documents show that the overdose was a result of heroin distributed by Corkery at 3200 New Jersey Ave.
A 6:30 p.m. May 2 civilian report of a possible narcotics overdose led to a police response. Officers on the scene in the 100 east block of Pine Avenue located a passed out man in a bathroom. Wildwood Fire attempt to save the man’s life, but he was ultimately pronounced deceased at the scene.
A court authorized search warrant was later executed at a residence in the 400 west block of Garfield Avenue. Based on evidence from this search, Corkery was arrested and incarcerated at the Cape May County Correctional Center.
He is being charged with strict liability for drug induced death according to the Wildwood Police.
Any charges are merely accusations and the defendant is presumed innocent until and unless he is proven guilty.
