The preliminary cause of death appears to be an accidental overdose of fentanyl, an opiate many times more powerful than heroin, said Montgomery County Coroner’s Office Director, Ken Betz.

Casey said she had a “dreadful feeling” after she spoke with her daughter earlier that day.
‘Something was off with her and something was off with him,’ she said.
Casey described her daughter as being well-liked and “a light in the room”.
‘I don’t know if they decided they were going to party or went and they got a hold of this bad stuff going around town,’ Casey said.

Since January, Montgomery County has had 165 accidental drug overdoses, with heroin, fentanyl and carfentanil being the current fatal mix of drugs most seen by Betz.
