WILTON MANORS — The six college students who overdosed on fentanyl-laced cocaine Thursday in Wilton Manors have been identified as students at the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, the Sun Sentinel has learned.
The football players 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 students 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.
Fentanyl, commonly used by dealers to make batches of heroin or cocaine go further, is a killer that accounts for the vast majority of accidental overdose deaths in Broward County. A 2017 Florida law allows drug dealers to face murder charges if a fentanyl sale led to an overdose.
Four of the students were taken to Broward Health Medical Center in Fort Lauderdale, while the other two were taken to Holy Cross Health. By Friday one person had been released, two remain in critical condition and on ventilators, and three are in stable condition, according to police.

Six fewer woke future officers in the Army.
End of their careers...or not...depending upon their race, gender, sexual orientation and pronouns.
Prayers for their recovery in any event. Stupid shouldn’t necessarily lead to death.
Future army officers!
No great loss to the world. OD on fentanyl by giving mouth to mouth???? Hmmmm.
A lot of homosapiens live there.
Expulsion….fortuitous to find out their poor judgment now…plus they can become xiden cabinet members…
As I read it four OD’d and two started CPR and then the two also needed medical care.
Yup, the military is full of men of great moral character.
Ping
The ones who took the dope intentionally have probly just graduated to their next career. The ones who tried to save them are probably OK if they can still pass a physical? Mixing dope with the clotshots is most likely going to be fatal-——not a good look.
It would be interesting to know who nominated these guys.
Should have just done it the old fashioned way...got drunk.
100’s of % jump in fentanyl smuggling into the US under Brandon.
So, thanks for that, I guess.
My big question is whether these students were white. That’s the most important fact of this story and its left out!
When you think you are bulletproof you do stupid things.
Some things happen for the best!
Hey kids, it’s not your Daddy’s heroin these days.
West Point got tired of losing to Navy. Suffice it to say standards were lowered to recruit athletes. Also the Honor system at West Point is in shambles.
