New Deadly Drug Claims Its First Victim in Beaver County

A new deadly drug has claimed its first victim in Beaver County. The drug is a powerful opioid called Carfentanil. The Beaver County coroner’s office has confirmed that a Beaver Falls area resident who died in November has testified positive for the drug. Beaver County District Attorney David Lozier appeared on Teleforum this morning and said that the drug is used to tranquilize elephants. Carfentanil is said to be 100 times stronger than fentanyl and 10-thousand times stronger than morphine.
