Police in Mission, B.C., say a five-year-old girl was sent to hospital last week after she apparently overdosed on fentanyl, requiring multiple doses of naloxone to revive her.

Mission RCMP say emergency responders were called to a home on Nottman Street on Thursday, where they found the child unconscious after she “reportedly handled a jar containing fentanyl” while having a bath.
