SUMMARY OF INCIDENT:

 

On 01/08/24 at 1541 hours Vermont State Police responded to the residence located at 557 East Hill Road in the town of Plainfield to investigate the death of Elizabeth Visocan, 26. The preliminary findings of the investigation led Troopers to suspect that the death was the result of a drug overdose. An autopsy and toxicology confirmed Elizabeth's death to be the result of an overdose of a mixture of fentanyl and xylazine.

 

The investigation determined that the drugs which caused Visocan's overdose death were provided to her by Michael Wilder, 40, or Worcester, VT. On 10/07/24 Troopers issued Wilder a citation to appear at the Washington Superior Court Criminal Division on 11/07/24 at 0830 hours to answer to the charge of Dispensing a Regulated Drug with Death Resulting. Wilder was subsequently released.
