Brantford Police say they have charged a local man in connection with a fatal drug overdose in the city earlier this summer.
Police say the victim, his brother and a close friend purchased what they believed to be cocaine from the accused on June 13.
While at the victim’s residence, police say the three people ingested the cocaine and a short time later paramedics were called to the home.
As a result of ingesting the drugs, police say the victim died of a fentanyl overdose, while his brother and friend were hospitalized.
On Monday, Brantford police charged Jeremy Folk, 39, with manslaughter.
Police have not released the identity of the victim.
