The powerful opiate fentanyl may be responsible for killing at least 6 people and overdosing 22 others in Sacramento, Calif., according to a March 31 report by The Guardian.
In the report, a Sacramento county health officer said white, oblong pills, containing pure fentanyl and marked M367, are counterfeit and may be linked to some of the overdoses. The pills are marked to resemble generic variations of Vicodin, Lortab, and Norco, which are hydrocodone drugs.
