SAN DIEGO (AP) - A man and woman found in a parked car in San Diego died from fentanyl overdoses, police said Thursday.

The pair were discovered before noon in a car parked on a street in the Redwood Village neighborhood. A caller told officers that the woman wasn’t breathing and the man was unresponsive, police said.

The woman died despite rescue efforts and the man died at a hospital.



Drugs found in the car tested positive for fentanyl, Kameron Korte of the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration told the San Diego Union-Tribune.

Fentanyl is a synthetic opioid that is considered much more dangerous than heroin or methamphetamine.
