Meet Fentanyl, the designer opioid that killed Prince
- 8 years ago
Fentanyl was identified by a Minnesota medical examiner as the powerful painkiller that killed legendary musician Prince. But it turns out that the man-made drug is also responsible for a number of opioid deaths across the country. In addition to being the most potent narcotic known, it is 50 times stronger than heroin and 100 times more so than morphine, according to the CDC's website.
