Police in Mission, B.C., say a five-year-old girl was sent to hospital last week after she apparently overdosed on fentanyl, requiring multiple doses of naloxone to revive her.
Mission RCMP say emergency responders were called to a home on Nottman Street on Thursday, where they found the child unconscious after she "reportedly handled a jar containing fentanyl" while having a bath.
Police say adults in the home called 911 after the child began vomiting, and paramedics arrived and administered naloxone.
Mounties say the girl was in hospital overnight and was expected to recover.
