BRANFORD, Conn. (AP) - The state medical examiner has determined that the father and adult son found dead in their Connecticut apartment in August died of drug overdoses.
WTIC-TV reports that the medical examiner confirmed that both 71-year-old David Wells and 36-year-old Jason Wells died of acute intoxication of a combination of drugs.
They were found in the Branford apartment Aug. 15.
Authorities say two different opioids, including fentanyl, and two anti-anxiety medications were found in their bodies.
The medical examiner says the younger man also had cocaine in his system.
