Man sentenced to five years in prison for overdose – Shaw Local

A Streamwood man has been sentenced to five years in prison for his role in the overdose death of a Carol Stream man, Attorney General Kwame Raoul's office said Tuesday.

A DuPage County jury found Stanley Carter, 31, guilty of felony drug conspiracy in January. In a separate investigation, Carter pleaded guilty to felony illegal delivery of a controlled substance.

Raoul's office claimed that 35-year-old Timothy Kim died of an overdose of fentanyl and heroin. The drugs were allegedly sold by Carter and delivered by Lee Crosby, then 33, and Nathan Crosby, then 35, both of Willowbrook. Nathan Crosby was sentenced to probation.

According to Raoul's office, Kim arranged to purchase heroin from Carter through Lee Crosby in January 2021. The Crosbys completed the transaction by meeting with an associate of Carter's and then delivering the drugs to Kim in Carol Stream, a press release from Raoul's office said.

Kim's father found his son dead in his bedroom, next to him a small bag containing a heroin mixture, as it later turned out.

The county medical examiner's office concluded that Kim's death “was due to a combination of fentanyl and isopropyl intoxication.”
