Medical examiners are still determining what killed the three victims. Sources tell TMZ that all four attendees ingested the laced cocaine. Fentanyl,which is a controlled substance, is a synthetic opioid 100 times stronger than morphine. The LAPD is investigating who supplied the doses of painkillers. 

Our condolences go out to Fuquan Johnson’s friends, family and supporters.
