A Curry County Sheriff’s Deputy with a Detective responded to a report Saturday morning, June 29th, regarding two deceased adults located inside a residence off Coverdell Road in southern Curry County.
Upon investigation, it was learned that although it did not appear that either person intended to ingest Fentanyl, the cause of death for each was likely a Fentanyl overdose after using another substance that had been contaminated with it.
This unfortunate situation happens frequently and can be as easy as reusing a bag or container that once contained fentanyl to sell a different drug.
Though possibly completely unintentional, that cross contamination alone is enough to cause a fatal overdose. It is unknown at this time if this was the case or not.
The Sheriff’s Office Detective Division is interested in talking with Anyone who may have any information regarding this incident is encouraged to contact the Curry County Sheriff’s Office Detective Division at 541-247-3242 Ext:4.
