FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. — Zach Creighton was headed to bed the night of Dec. 12, after a long day of work. Unreachable all the next day, his parents rushed from their Boynton Beach home to Creighton’s place in West Palm Beach.
There, they discovered their son, 31, had died from a fentanyl overdose — becoming part of a staggering, and growing, number of deaths across Florida and the rest of the nation.
In the weeks since, Mary Beth Creighton has been grieving the loss of her son, and become an advocate for combating the scourge of fentanyl.
