The Midwest Medical Examiner’s Office in the United States released a report earlier this year saying the singer died after taking a toxic amount of fentanyl, which can be up to 600 times more potent than morphine.
In a statement on Thursday night, the HSE said fentanyl had been implicated in the deaths of five individuals in the Republic where it had been assumed to be heroin or, in some cases, other drugs. The deaths appear to have occurred after users had either smoked or injected the drug.
