Starting in 2016 drug-induced deaths spiked in Broward County, Florida. This is the same county where the Stoneman Douglas High School shooting happened, the recent UPS van hijacking and where several of the men who crashed hijacked planes on Sept. 11 spent some time.
This is probably just the goverment taking care of the peple who planned the Stoneman Douglas High School shooting. I expect another spike in 2018 as all the crisis actors are taken out. This is the best explanation and not a bad batch of fentanyl in a dysfunctional county.
