[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] Comedian Fuquan Johnson is among three dead from 'cocaine-laced fentanyl overdose' at party in LA: Model and comedian Kate Quiqley is in critical condition

The stand-up comedian was found dead at a party in the Venice neighborhood of Los Angeles early Saturday morning

A fourth person found unconscious at the party is believed to be comedian and model Kate Quigley

Quigley was transported to a hospital in critical condition

Police suspect the four victims ingested cocaine laced with fentanyl

While LAPD is investigating, law enforcement sources told TMZ that the department's homicide unit have not been notified about this particular case

Last week, six residents on Long Island died from what authorities said were overdoses of fentanyl-laced cocaine

CDC says more than 83,000 people lost their lives to drug-related overdoses in the 12-month period ending in July 2020

Fentanyl, a synthetic opioid similar to morphine but is 50 times more potent than heroin, is thought to be driving most overdose deaths in the United States

#5  I had a friend die in my arms of a fentanyl overdose two years ago. The deputy, paramedics, and I worked hard on keeping him alive. But after they tapped narcan into his artery and he didn't wake up, I knew he was gone.

I believe he tbought he was doing heroin, not fentanyl. He'd been a junkie most of his life, and knew how to do his drug. But it wasn't his drug afterall.

#4  this has nothing to do with fentanyl patches. It was mixed in with the coke.

#3  Fentanyl patches are a vital part of dealing with pain from cancer. In addition it is used to deal with post op pain and even in obstetrics in some difficult cases.

The problem is that first, it is relatively easier to make, and second, it is powerful.

#1  With everything we know about it--and everything we DON'T know about it--you have to be out of your mind to use fentanyl.
