Three people have died in north London from an emerging synthetic opioid that could be up to a hundred times stronger than heroin, as campaigners fear an “immediate crisis” posed by synthetic opioids in the capital.
Two men in their 40s and 50s and one woman in her 40s died in Camden from Cychlorphine. The manufactured drug is thought to have a similar toxicity to nitazines, making accidental fatal overdoses more likely.
