@Cameron Dewe I certainly agree with your change, but it makes me wonder, should the title even have fentanyl in it at this point in time considering that no final verdict has been made that fentanyl was the cause? The fentanyl part really is what makes the case notable so I'm unsure. —Panamitsu(talk)23:02, 22 September 2023 (UTC)Reply
@Panamitsu: That is why I have asked this question. What really is significant here? Is it the death of a single child? Or the circumstances surrounding the poisoning of 4 children in a New York daycare facility? The objective evidence reported would suggest that fentanyl was more probable, than not, involved. While this isn't beyond reasonable doubt needed for a criminal conviction, it does seem to be the most likely explanation of the medical symptoms and treatment when saying this was an accidental death, as there is no contrary explanation for what happened. If you don't want to use the word "fentanyl" in the title, it could be omitted, or the more general "opioid" could be used instead, because the medical treatment using Narcan is for an opioid toxicity. - Cameron Dewe (talk) 00:19, 23 September 2023 (UTC)Reply
