Fentanyl Overdose Kills Manchester Township Man

The powerful pain drug Fentanyl has killed again. This time, the body of 27-year-old Brandon Joey Weaver was found in his Manchester Township home. He had nearly eight times the therapeutic dosage of Fentanyl in his system, according to police and the York County Coroner's Office. Drug experts, Fentanyl is 100 times more potent than morphine.
