Aw, man. That sucks. Fentanyl is killing too many good people - Prince, Tom Petty, Coolio, Mac Miller, Michael K. Williams, Shock G, Jay Bennett, Bobby Brown Jr.
It should be banned and manufacture stopped. We have other less powerful painkillers and I don't see why it's necessary. These people didn't expect to die from their recreational or even medicinal drug use.

My 30-year-old neighbor, a sweet young woman, died when whatever she took was laced with fentanyl. I’ve known her since she was a couple of years old. Not in a million years would I have suspected her of street drug use.

I'll always remember him for his appearance on Hot Ones, easily one the most reckless (and hilarious) guest on the show.

He played Ray Charles' nerdy, gift-wrapper nephew (or grandson?) on The Nanny. He also appeared as himself in a later episode, when Maxwell was on Hollywood Squares.

Fentanyl and other synthetic opioids are the most common drugs involved in overdose deaths. Even in small doses, it can be deadly. Over 150 people die every day from overdoses related to synthetic opioids like fentanyl."

What did Ray Liotta die from? That just popped into my head. I'm quite certain he lead a healthy lifestyle.
Coolio was sadly on that stuff. Heroin was also mentioned. That's all just heartbreaking.
Coolio had a nice face. I'm serious. The hairdo hides it but he had a good strong jawline and high cheekbones.

The majority of fentanyl is mass-produced in 𝑴𝒆𝒙𝒊𝒄𝒐 using chemicals from 𝑪𝒉𝒊𝒏𝒂 before being pressed into pills or mixed with other counterfeit pills made to look like Xanax, Adderall, or oxycodone. The counterfeit drugs are then sold to unaware buyers.

Did he develop a drug problem as his career declined or something? He did a lot of different stuff (music, acting, cook books) but once you hit your 50’s it’s hard to hang on to an audience.
