Rapper Lil Peep was only twenty-one when he took counterfeit pills he thought were the anti-anxiety drug Xanax in November 2017. Instead, the pills contained fentanyl, and he died of an unintentional overdose.

Paisley Park home in 2016, investigators found 49 black market pills which were partially made of fentanyl. Prince’s friends and family told investigators that he thought he was taking Vicodin, a common pain medication provided for tooth aches and muscle pains. After a two year investigation turned up no suspects, it’s unlikely that the dealer or friend who gave the pills to Prince will ever be caught or punished.
