Arizona child dies after ingesting fentanyl pill

An Arizona child died Sunday after ingesting at least one fentanyl pill. The 3 year old was rushed to the hospital by his family where he later died. An investigation is ongoing.

A criminal investigation has been launched after the death of a 3-year-old boy who reportedly ingested fentanyl, according to Apache Junction police.

Police said the toddler swallowed at least one fentanyl pill on Jan. 25 before he was taken to a hospital by his family.

The boy was treated with the overdose medication Narcan before being air-lifted to a second hospital where he died Sunday, police said.
