HARTFORD, Conn. — About 100 bags of fentanyl were allegedly found in the bedroom of a Hartford child who died this month after overdosing on the drug at school, police said this week.
In a release Tuesday evening, police said that a search warrant was executed at the juvenile’s residence, revealing “approximately 100 additional bags of fentanyl,” which were “packaged in the same manner as the bags located at the (Sport and Medical Sciences Academy school), had the same identifying stamp, and tested at an even higher purity level” of 60%.
Police said they had found nearly 40 bags of fentanyl stashed in multiple locations within the school in a search prompted after the student overdosed.
