Fentanyl-laced cocaine suspected in death and overdose on Ontario reserve
Police on a First Nations reserve in southwestern Ontario are investigating whether cocaine laced with fentanyl is behind the death of a man and the overdose of another earlier this week.
Six Nations police said they responded to a report of a possible overdose at a home around noon on Wednesday and found a 39-year-old man dead when they arrived.
The man, who was a guest at the house, had been drinking and snorting cocaine the night before, according to police.
Others in the house had found him on the floor and believed he was sleeping, but when they checked on him, police said, he was not responding and they called 911.
