OLD ORCHARD BEACH, Maine (AP) - The Maine Office of the Chief Medical Examiner says the January deaths of a former Old Orchard Beach town councilor and a young woman have been ruled accidental.

Forty-four-year-old Dana Furtado and 21-year-old Amber Morrow of Saco were found dead at Furtado’s home on Jan. 23.

A spokesman for the medical examiner’s office says Furtado and Morrow died of acute intoxication due to drugs including fentanyl, a synthetic opioid.



The Journal Tribune (https://bit.ly/2ldyrqs ) reports police say the case is still under investigation and they are trying to identify where the drugs came from.
