Florida parents charged after 2-year-old dies of fentanyl overdose
Fox News
Two Florida parents have been charged in connection to their 2-year-old daughter's fentanyl overdose death.
"For years, law enforcement has been battling the opioid epidemic here in Marion County, throughout the United States, and at our country’s borders," Sheriff Billy Woods said in a Wednesday statement. "The senseless death of this innocent child is the ultimate tragedy, and it should serve as a reminder of why we must continue our fight to keep opiates out of our communities."
A medical examiner in August determined Miya’s cause of death to be fentanyl toxicity after the 2-year-old's stomach contents tested positive for the deadly drug.
Woods added: "Everybody should know that if you or somebody you know uses drugs and wants to get clean, our community has resources available to help you. But let me be perfectly clear, if you are using drugs or selling drugs, and if somebody overdoses or dies as a result, me and my deputies will do everything we can to hold you accountable to the fullest extent of the law."
