Four of the six students in Florida for spring break were using the laced drug. At least two of them immediately went into cardiac arrest, officials said.
By Angie DiMichele, South Florida Sun Sentinel rental house Thursday ended with six college students overdosing on fentanyl-laced cocaine, Fort Lauderdale Fire Rescue officials said.
Two others in the house in the 800 block of Northwest 29th Court ran to help their friends by administering CPR. Then those two were exposed to the fentanyl by giving mouth-to-mouth, Gollan said.Fentanyl is a synthetic prescription opioid that is commonly made illegally. It is about 100 times more powerful than morphine. Just two milligrams of fentanyl is considered a lethal dose, according to a public safety alert from the DEA.
As of Thursday night, five were in stable condition, and one was intubated in critical condition in the intensive care unit. The ages of the patients was not immediately clear, Gollan said.Spring break in South Florida draws hundreds of college-aged students to its many beaches each year, which typically runs from March 4 to about April 3, depending on the schools.
