Dozens in Central Georgia have been hospitalized in the last two days from pill overdoses.
A release from the Department of Public Health says they’ve become aware of a potentially lethal substance in street drugs throughout the region.
Overdoses have been reported in Centerville, Perry, Macon, and Warner Robins, but the drugs may also be sold in other parts of the state.
Patients reported purchasing yellow pills believed to be Percocet.
According to a press release from the Bibb County Sheriff's Office, the counterfeit pills have the numbers 10/325 on one side and the word PERCOCET in all capital letters on the opposite side.
On the counterfeit pills, the word PERCOCET is not stamped as deep as the manufacturer typically does on their pills.
The substance in the pills has not yet been identified, but it’s requiring massive amounts of Narcan to counteract the effects.
"This is very unusual for Middle Georgia. We've never seen this number of overdoses in such a short time like this," said Hendry.
UPDATE (1:05 p.m.) Bibb County coroner Leon Jones has identified the two people who died due to pill overdoses.
He said Gregory Mitchell, age 52, of Macon died Tuesday morning. His autopsy is scheduled for Wednesday.
Amirrah Gillens, age 36, died Sunday. Her autopsy is scheduled for Wednesday as well.
