Battlefords RCMP suspect fake OxyContin in death

Jun 8, 2015 | 5:11 PM

An all-too-familiar warning from Battlefords RCMP.

A man is dead and police believe counterfeit OxyContin could be responsible.

Officers were sent to a home Sunday evening after a report of the man’s sudden death.

While they stressed that they are still trying to determine an exact cause of death, a media release issued Monday afternoon highlighted the possibility that fake OxyContin could have infiltrated the community.
