The death of an 8-year-old Kentucky boy is now being blamed on fentanyl, not an allergic reaction to strawberries as previously thought, according to local reports citing a coroner’s report. Last month, authorities began investigating after a boy died, possibly after eating strawberries at a school fundraiser. After the boy’s death, the Hopkins County Health Department said that a preliminary autopsy report ruled his death an "isolated allergic reaction.
This week, Hopkins County Coroner Jeff Mayfield said Trey Harris died from fentanyl intoxication and the manner of death was ruled "undetermined," KentuckyToday reported. FOX Television Stations has reached out to the Hopkins County Coroner for more information. KentuckyToday also reported the boy’s mother and stepfather are now facing charges in connection with the boy’s death.
