Sep 23, 2014 | 8:19 AM

A drug being sold in Saskatoon may be responsible for two recent deaths.

Saskatoon police believe the drug, Oxycontin 80, resulted in two men in their 20s overdosing.

Police have seized some of the pills and are now trying to determine if they are counterfeit.

The pills are described as round convex shape, blue/green in color with the number 80 on one side and “ CDN” on the other side.

Instead of Oxycontin, the pills may contain other unknown deadly ingredients.
