A toddler has died after police say he ingested fentanyl over the weekend at a home in Apache Junction.

According to police, the 3-year-old boy ingested at least one fentanyl pill on Jan. 29 near Tomahawk Road and Broadway Avenue.

The boy was taken to the hospital by his family and was treated with Narcan before being airlifted to a different hospital.

"Unfortunately, the 3-year-old boy's respiratory system shut down after issues of brain swellings and stroke symptoms, and he ultimately was put on life support before he died," Apache Junction Police said.

No arrests have been made at this time, however, the incident is an ongoing criminal investigation.

This is so sad, I was a fentanyl addict for 8 months. So blessed to be a year and 3 days clean. This truly breaks my heart I have a 3 year old and couldn’t begin to imagine that pain. 😩

I’m living in Apache junction unfortunately due to rent increase back in phx and honestly can say the people out there look like drugs are part of their dna . I’ve had an employee fall asleep mid conversation while I was buying gas. The employees are so much less than help full you’d prefer self check outs in most stores there and every woman on the dating apps on that side of town look like they hit every branch on the way down when falling from the ugly tree. I will be getting the hell out of Apache as soon as this lease is up. Place is a real shit hole
