Last night in Brandon, Brandon Fire and Emergency Services asked the Brandon Police to assist them with a suspected overdose.
Two adults were found unresponsive by a third adult in a residential bathroom.
Both individuals were transported to the hospital with one remaining in ICU. The other adult was treated medically but didn't need the ICU.
The police learned the individuals purchased two substances, one described as purple heroin and the other as methamphetamine.
Both substances were consumed throughout the evening.
Initial testing of the substances they had consumed revealed a mix of fentanyl, butyrylfentanyl, carfentanil and methamphetamine.
It isn’t clear at this stage of the investigation which of the purchased drugs contained any fentanyl, or if they both contained some.
Purple heroin discovered in other jurisdictions has been found to contain a combination of heroin mixed with fentanyl, carfentanil and other opioids.
Brandon Police are continuing the investigation.
