Six spring breakers at a Florida rental home overdosed on fentanyl-laced
cocaine, leaving two in critical condition, authorities said Friday.

Paramedics responded to a short-term Airbnb rental home Thursday in Wilton
Manors and found six people in cardiac arrest from a drug overdose. Two of
the victims were listed in critical condition Friday, Wilton Manors police
confirmed to The Post.

At least one of the victims – six men in their early 20s – had been
treated and released, Fort Lauderdale Fire Rescue Chief Stephen Gollan
told NBC Miami.

The group was in town to celebrate spring break. It’s unclear what college
the men attend, according to the station.

“Narcan was deployed as quickly as possible,” Gollan told WPLG, referring
to a drug that reverses the effects of opioid overdoses. “This is
extremely alarming to us.”

The students overdosed on what they thought was cocaine, but had actually
been laced with fentanyl — a synthetic opioid 80 to 100 times stronger
than morphine, according to the Drug Enforcement Administration.

“It’s extremely, extremely potent and can stop your heart, your
respiration,” Gollan told NBC Miami.

Just four of the students used the laced cocaine. Two others got sick
after using life-saving measures on the initial overdose victims,
authorities told the station.

“Spring break has come off the beach and into communities,” Gollan said.
“And that’s what you’re seeing here.”

A woman who lives nearby said she saw paramedics responding to the home
and removing the victims from the home while unconscious before “just
laying them on the grass,” according to NBC Miami.

Another neighbor, meanwhile, said she saw nothing out of the ordinary
prior to the mass overdose.

“They seem like good kids, typical college kids,” the Wilton Manors
resident told CBS Miami. “Rowdy in the pool, but they don’t deserve this.”

Wilton Manors police later sent out a warning to other young revelers now
in south Florida.

“WMPD wants to warn spring breakers about the dangers of using illicit
drugs & to avoid mixing drugs with alcohol or other forms of drugs,”
department officials tweeted. “Protect yourself from the dangers of
fentanyl.”

In November, data released by the Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention showed drug overdose deaths in the US surged by nearly 30
percent over the previous year.

An estimated 100,306 people died nationwide from overdoses during a 12-
month period ending in April — a 28.5 percent spike from 78,056 tallied in
the same span a year earlier.

Deaths due to opioids, including highly potent fentanyl, accounted for
more than 75 percent of fatalities during the yearlong span, according to
the data.
