3 die in King County within hours in overdose cluster [View all]
RENTON, Wash. -- Three people died of fentanyl overdoses in King County Thursday in what health officials called an overdose cluster.
The victims died within hours of each other and were within two miles on the border of Kent and Renton. Authorities said each of them took pills laced with fentanyl.
"It's fairly irregular when we have that many people die within a short period of time in the same geographic vicinity," said Brad Finegood of Public Health Seattle-King County.
The proximity opens up the possibility that the pills could have come from the same source. Fentanyl-laced counterfeit pills are becoming increasingly more common in Pacific Northwest communities.
