Spring break overdose victims identified as West Point football players

WILTON MANORS, Fla. — The six college students who overdosed on fentanyl-laced cocaine Thursday in Wilton Manors have been identified as football players at the U.S. Military Academy at West Point.

After using the drug, at least two cadets went immediately into cardiac arrest. Two students who hadn’t taken the drug tried to give their friend mouth-to-mouth and received enough fentanyl that way to suffer overdoses themselves.
