“Extremely potent” batches of purple and grey or black fentanyl are likely behind the surge in deaths, police said. Fentanyl is an extremely strong opioid painkiller that is between 50 and 100 times stronger than morphine.
Opioid overdoses, especially those causing death, have been far from rare in Southwestern Ontario. In November, Strathroy-Caradoc police reported responding to four overdoses in 24 hours, including one fatal overdose. In August, St. Thomas reported 16 overdoses in 11 days.
