Kate Quigley Fans Pray Comedian Pulls Through After Taking Fentanyl-Laced Cocaine
Kate Quigley fans are praying the comedian pulls through after she ended up in a critical condition after reportedly taking a tainted batch of cocaine that also killed three others, including comedy writer Fuquan Johnson.
Quigley, 39, gave a friend an update that she was "alive" after being hospitalized in Los Angeles at the weekend.
"I'm alive. I'm not great. But I'm ok," Quigley texted her comedian friend, Brian Redban.
TMZ reports that Fuquan Johnson, who was a writer for Comedy Parlour Live, died after taking the drug which was laced with fentanyl at a home in Venice, Los Angeles, on Friday night. Three others are reported to have been found dead at the scene.
Fentanyl is a painkiller more potent than heroin that has become a popular way to cut certain recreational drugs including cocaine, with tragic results.
The outlet reports that authorities confirmed the other two victims were Enrico Colangeli and Natalie Williamson, who were aged 48 and 33 years old, respectively.
