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.

"The fentanyl is delivered into the blood via a transdermal pain patch that very oftern fails", said Ricky Bagolie, a Jersey City attorney who is involved in litigation.
