Alberta RCMP warns of deadly counterfeit pills after death of 16-year-old in Edmonton area
Alberta RCMP has issued a province-wide warning about a potentially deadly supply of illegal opiates disguised as the anti-anxiety medication Xanax, after the death of a 16-year-old male in the Edmonton area. Article content The teen's death is under investigation, and while the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner will ultimately determine the cause, RCMP said the circumstances surrounding the case prompted the force to act swiftly. Article content Article content Article content 'Some of this substance was located with the deceased,' said Cpl. Troy Savinkoff, acting Alberta RCMP media relations manager. 'It's enough for RCMP to strongly believe that this was a strong potential cause of the death, and it's enough for us to have concern, to want to immediately communicate our concern.' Article content RCMP believe the counterfeit pill involved in the teen's death was obtained in Edmonton, and that the drug 'could very quickly make its way across the province.' Article content According to RCMP, the counterfeit pills mimic the appearance of Xanax but are grey instead of white, and they contain isotonitazene, a highly potent synthetic opioid which Savinkoff noted as 'a great concern' because it's 'very easy to overdose and cause death.' Article content The pills are rectangular, have the word ONAX stamped on one side, and a vertical '2' on the other. Article content Article content Article content Article content Savinkoff said the public alert was necessary to prevent further harm. Article content Article content 'Parents, relatives, and other community members need to share this information as much as possible, and especially so now that school is out,' he said. Article content Article content The Alberta RCMP is urging the public to avoid taking any medication not prescribed by a licensed pharmacist. Article content 'It's a given that drugs should not be obtained if you don't have a prescription. Drugs are illegal for a reason. They're dangerous,' Savinkoff said. 'And if you don't have a prescription and you don't know where the drug came from, there's always going to be risk.' Article content

King has also been charged with accessory after the fact in the killing of both Barker and Alannah Brown. The Mounties say Simon Bourbonnais has been charged with manslaughter in Brown's death, in addition to the unlawful confinement of Brown, along with charges of indignity to human remains and accessory after the fact in both killings. The third suspect is Tyler Stuart, who police say has been charged with accessory after the fact and indignity to human remains relating to both victims. A previous RCMP statement from October 2024 said firefighters from Summerland had found two bodies near Kickininee Provincial Park on Sept. 15, 2022. It said Barker and Brown, both from Penticton, had been seen alive the day before. In the latest statement, Supt.
