Brit dad dies from poisoning on family holiday to Disney World in Florida

A British dad has died on a family trip to Disneyland after being poisoned by fentanyl.

Philip Weybourne, 40, from West Malling in Kent, was at the Walt Disney World Resort in Florida with his wife and young son in May when he suddenly collapsed at a bar.

An inquest at County Hall in Maidstone heard he was then rushed to hospital, where his condition rapidly deteriorated and died shortly after.

Toxicology reports showed he had fatal levels of fentanyl in his system, a powerful synthetic opioid described by the United States Drug Enforcement Administration as the "single deadliest drug threat our nation has ever encountered."
