Homicide Squad detectives have charged a woman following the death of a man in Brunswick East earlier this year.
A 43-year-old Niddrie woman was arrested and has subsequently been charged with manslaughter.
The charge follows the death of a 51-year-old Brunswick East man on January 23.
Emergency services were called to an Edward St property about 3.30am, where a man was located deceased following what is believed to have been an adverse reaction to a drug of dependence.
Police believe the parties involved were known to each other.
The woman was due to appear at Melbourne Magistrates’ Court.
