Comedian Kate Quigley discusses surviving 'horrific' accidental fentanyl poisoning
Fox News
Kate Quigley recalled the tragic night when three of her friends died from accidental overdoses after allegedly using cocaine laced with fentanyl.
"I mean, after a comedy show, honestly, occasionally, that's a kind of normal night, right? It's not like it was a crazy night of partying," she said. "I always liked to do it for fun, but I was always a baby about it, honestly. Like, I'm the one that does, like, the quarter of what everyone does, which is why I lived… And then I went to the bathroom, and what's wild is, on the way out of the bathroom, I couldn't even button my pants. I was already that disoriented."
The United States Drug Enforcement Agency listed fentanyl as a Schedule II controlled substance "that is similar to morphine but about 100 times more potent," and noted two milligrams (less than a grain of salt) of the synthetic opioid can be lethal depending on a person's body size.
