WILTON MANORS — The six college students who overdosed on fentanyl-laced cocaine Thursday in Wilton Manors have been identified as football players at the U.S. Military Academy at West Point.
They were in town for Spring Break, renting a house in Wilton Manors that would become the scene of a desperate attempt to save lives.

After using the drug, at least two cadets went immediately into cardiac arrest. Two students who hadn’t taken the drug tried to give their friend mouth-to-mouth and received enough fentanyl that way to suffer overdoses themselves.

West Point issued a statement Friday afternoon acknowledging what happened and saying the academy was looking into it.

“The U.S. Military Academy is aware of the situation involving West Point cadets, which occurred Thursday night in Wilton Manors, FL,” said a statement from the academy’s public affairs office. “The incident is currently under investigation and no other details are available at this time.”

I think only one of the six was a football player.

This article says six were identified as fb players. This story is fricked up. What a huge bummer.

It’s actually pretty crazy from a druggie perspective. Don’t see that too often. Then there’s the other thought on it: buncha lightweights can’t handle their shite.

Not sure what’s accurate then. ESPN article about it I read said there were six total people, two of whom were Cadets, and one of the Cadets was a football player.

It was 6 cadets, one of which was a football player. There was also a female in the house who was hospitalized as well.

2 of the cadets remain hospitalized in critical condition

They have also supposedly made an arrest in the case, but details aren’t out there yet. Guessing it was the cadet that bought the cocaine

Not for nothing but Wilton Manors is where the Broward school board member took the elementary school kids on a field trip to the gay bar recently

Someone explain this to me like I’m 5. Why in the frick would a drug dealer lace his stash with something deadly? You’re not getting repeat customers if you keep fricking killing them. WTF? Are these people drug dealers or serial killers?

All six doing their lines at exactly the same time? Otherwise you see what happens to the first guy and I doubt you're going to repeat it.

It's deadly because of it's potency. Drug traffickers can transport it much easier because it's so small. Basically, a very small amount equal to the size of a grain of rice is enough to kill a horse. But if it's evenly distributed in a large batch of cocaine or heroin then it makes the product much more potent and "better"

The problem is that it's not always evenly distributed so people accidentally get hot doses of super potent drugs.
