Francisco “Frankie” Garcia Santos, 40, allegedly provided pills containing fentanyl to a fishing vessel crewman who died in January.
Unalaska police say Francisco “Frankie” Garcia Santos, 40, provided pills containing fentanyl to Kieran Sean McCulley. McCulley, 32, was a crew member on the F/V Bulldog and died of an overdose when the boat was docked in Unalaska in January. Santos was arrested May 3, following an investigation by local police, the Coast Guard Investigative Service, and other federal agencies that Simms declined to name.
Unalaska Deputy Police Chief Bill Simms said police do not suspect foul play in any of the deaths. He said the State Medical Examiner's Office ruled the first person died of natural causes, and he said police are waiting on final autopsy reports for the other four deaths, which remain under investigation.
