UNC-Chapel Hill student dies after ingesting fentanyl at Duke University

A 19-year-old freshman at UNC-Chapel Hill ingested fentanyl on campus at Duke University back in March and died according to papers now filed in federal court. Grace Burton’s death had been kept very quiet even though the student she was with at the time and the suspected drug dealer are now charged in the case. A student journalist at Duke wrote about what happened for an online news site. In this episode, WRAL’s Enterprise Team Executive Producer Ashley Talley sheds light on this tragic case.
