Connecticut authorities found an unconscious 13-year-old boy at his prep school Thursday morning, suffering an apparent opioid overdose on campus.
Police arrived at Hartford’s Sport and Medical Sciences Academy to find paramedics already applying CPR. They saw “evidence of narcotics” nearby and later determined the substance contained fentanyl – a highly dangerous synthetic opioid.
The teen and two other boys who complained of dizziness were rushed to Connecticut Children’s Medical Center, police said. The one who lost consciousness was listed in “guarded condition” while the other two were taken for evaluation.

In July, a California deputy trainee collapsed after finding drugs in a car in an incident caught on bodycam. His partner saved his life with a dose of Narcan – an antidote to opioid overdoses.
