A 15-year-old and a 14-year-old died in two separate cases within 48 hours, Prince William County police said.
First Sgt. Jonathan Perok said police do not know whether the death of a 15-year-old boy from Woodbridge, Va., and that of a 14-year-old boy from Dale City, Va., are connected. But police say the reports from Sunday and Tuesday both appear to involve counterfeit forms of Percocet, sometimes known as “Perc30” laced with the synthetic opioid fentanyl.
Madron said the sale and distribution of “Perc30s″ — pills with fentanyl pressed into them — are driving much of the problem.Illicitly pressed pills are nearly identical to legitimate pills like pharmaceutically made oxycodone or a Xanax tablet, making it difficult for users to spot the difference, said Kathrin “Rosie” Hobron, statewide forensic epidemiologist for the Virginia Department of Health’s Office of the Chief Medical Examiner.
