Death by Fentanyl
Sun, Jan 31, 2016
Drug overdoses are soaring to new highs in America. The epidemic is a hot-button issue in the New Hampshire Presidential Primaries. But while heroin blankets the headlines, an even deadlier drug has taken the epidemic from crisis to calamity. They call it "China White," "Drop Dead" or "the serial killer of drugs" --Fentanyl. It's a synthetic opiate similar to heroin, but far more powerful. According to a recently released report, Fentanyl was involved in 253 of the 351 opiate overdoses in New Hampshire,whereas heroin alone was the cause of 28 deaths in the state. This FUSION investigation tracks who is feeding the Fentanyl epidemic. It is a story that will take viewers from New England to Wall Street to the land of 'El Chapo' to understand why so many are getting hooked and dying -and how pharmaceutical companies contribute to the problem.
