Seven people have died from suspected fentanyl overdoses in Kyle in the current calendar year, Police Chief Jeff Barnett said. The last death was an unidentified high school sophomore who passed away from a suspected overdose on Sunday afternoon.
PUBLISHED 12:55 PM CDT Aug. 24, 2022A suspected fentanyl overdose has taken not one, but three, lives of Hays County high school students in the last month, a trend that has alarmed school officials and local police.
Hays Consolidated intends to reach out to middle and high school students directly, in classrooms, about the dangers of fentanyl — which is attributed to fentanyl — even as the number of teens using drugs has remained steady. Often, drug dealers will use the Snapchat or Telegram phone applications, which make messages difficult to trace, Barnett said.
Many drug overdoses leave first responders with little or no information to find the drug dealer, Swisher said. Kids get together. They take the drug. One recognizes the other is having a reaction. At that moment, the friend has to decide whether to dial 911. Sometimes they stay; other times they leave.
