It was very devastating for my daughter and her kids. He was 41 years old. He worked in the Icu Unit at the hospital as a nurse. I'll never understand why they tamper in this stuff. You think it will never happen to your family. He didn't get from the hospital I don't think. Toxicology report said it was laced with something else besides Fentanyl.I probably don't want to know what it was. This has over taken America. Killed so many. Sad day it was
