He overdosed inside a bathroom and died a short time later.

“Mr. Clem delivered the six stamp bags of heroin to our victim, and subsequently, that victim died from the overdose," said Randy Glick, chief of the Derry Borough Police Department. "Through investigation and months and months of hard work, we’re here today with the arrest.”

The stamp bag of heroin that killed the victim contained fentanyl, heroin and ethanol, according to police.

“If you’re going to sell poison to people and they die from it, then you have to pay the price,” Glick said.
