A 13-year-old who was hospitalized Thursday following apparent exposure to fentanyl at a Connecticut middle school died Saturday, authorities said.

Hartford police said the student’s death was the result of an overdose, and that it that was under investigation.

“The 13-year-old male juvenile succumbed to his injuries and was pronounced deceased,” the department said in a statement. The victim became unconscious Thursday morning at the Sport and Medical Sciences Academy, a public prep and magnet school, authorities said. CPR was administered and he was hospitalized in what police described as “guarded condition.”, they said. They have since been released and no further details have been released.“It is believed that the three juveniles came into contact with the fentanyl at the same time,” police said.Authorities put the school on lockdown and conducted a search.

Marino, who is outspoken on drug policy and opioid addiction, maintained that it’s virtually impossible to overdose on fentanyl in the manner described by Hartford police. “While fentanyl remains a serious danger to anyone using substances, casual exposure alone is not, and victims of overdose should be treated without delay or hesitation because every second counts,” he said.Saturday, the nonprofit Drug Policy Alliance echoed that sentiment, stating, “It is not possible to overdose on fentanyl or fentanyl analogues through accidental skin contact or from close proximity alone.
