APACHE JUNCTION, AZ (3TV/CBS 5) -- Apache Junction police are investigating after a 3-year-old boy died from fentanyl. Officers said the boy's family took him to the hospital, and they're cooperating with detectives. However, police said they do not know where the child got the fentanyl and how it got into his system.'It is a very tragic situation anytime you have a child, a three-year-old child, that would happen to,' said Apache Junction Police Lt.
