Montreal public health says it’s investigating a series of overdoses in downtown Montreal Sunday that sent six people to hospital.

The health agency says what happened is concerning but that it’s not uncommon for a large number of people to overdose in one day because of the contamination of street drugs with synthetic opiates, such as fentanyl.
