Two high school seniors in Texas were found dead from a fentanyl overdose after suffering from drug addictions for years, according to investigators.

The Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office deputies responded to a double overdose call at a home on Stanwick Place, The Woodlands. They found Irene Sunderland, 18, and her boyfriend Grant Blodgett, 17, dead in a bedroom on May 5.

Mandy, Irene’s mother, found her daughter’s body in her bedroom surrounded by drugs on the day she was reportedly going to take her to rehab.

“An intervention person was at my house in the kitchen, and when she said it was time to wake up my daughter before she went to school to begin the intervention, with my letter and all that… my daughter was gone,” Sunderland told Click2Houston.

Investigators found phone records on both teenagers’ cellphones, leading to the arrest of 19-year-old dealer Abdulbaaith Abiodun Adewale. They found text messages from Adewale informing the couple that another person had already died from the same heroin he had given them. Authorities believe that Adewale knew the drugs “could and would likely kill them.”

Toxicology results confirmed the presence of fentanyl, according to the Sheriff’s Office.

Adewale was charged with two second-degree felony charges of manufacturing or delivering a controlled substance causing death or serious bodily injury. His bond was set at $150,000.

The 19-year-old was previously charged with three counts of possession of a controlled substance; however, the charges were dropped after he completed a program.

“This is an example of the recent law passed by the Texas Legislature that allows us to charge those who provide illegal narcotics that cause the death of our citizens,” Sheriff Rand Henderson said in a statement. “Let this be a warning to those who sell illicit narcotics: Montgomery County Law Enforcement is committed to finding you and holding you accountable not only for the selling of illicit narcotics but for the deaths that occur.”

Sunderland and Blodgett died just two weeks before their graduation at Woodlands High School. Sunderland, who was born in Changsha, China, in 2003, was adopted by Mandy and Jeffrey Sunderland. She was a member of her high school’s dance team, and she was planning to attend Drexel University to pursue fashion merchandising. Blodgett was a few weeks away from his 18th birthday on May 25. He played football and was planning to attend Texas Tech University to pursue History.

The Montgomery County District Attorney’s office will hold off on interviews until after both victims are laid to rest. Adewale’s arraignment date is expected for early next week.

HS drug addicts & morons. At least they didn't reproduce first. 

Adewale informing the couple that another person had already died from the same heroin he had given them - LOSERS

she was planning to attend Drexel University to pursue fashion merchandising. 

he - planning to attend Texas Tech University to pursue History.

They were doomed anyway. Probably did the planet a favor. The drug pusher will be out inside a couple years. If it was CA or NY, he wouldn't even have been charged.

He didn't force them to take it. He should not be charged at all. They would have got it from someone else. Arrest everyone just to be safe.

Still wondering why bars are liable for people drinking too much and liquor stores aren't.

I got ZERO sympathy for drug addicted losers. They just need to drop dead ASAP.

Not all that get addicted do it willing, but in this case, it is hard to feel compassion. Not like they got into a serious accident or had serious surgery

That’s fine and obviously they deserve a lot of fault for their own demise. Still, it’s pretty callous

I hate to see anyone die early, but if you are a junkie before you even get out of high school, and are found dead in your bedroom, “surrounded by drugs” in the morning, on a school day- well, you probably weren’t going to last much longer anyway.

[Utilit99 4,099]

Druggies need a chance to cure themselves. Straighten themselves out. At least for a little while. The influx of drugs in this country through our southern border is stupid. Just admit it.

Because they don’t drink the liquor in the store (usually)?

My brother had addiction issues. And f*** you, if you knew that your kid had addiction issues for years, and it just suddenly happened while you're on tiktok. Or what the f*** ever. God I'm just f****** angry.

Fentanyl is killing the drug business, literally. It's not far off from a conspiracy theory to see that addicts are dying and the casual user might be staying away because of the stuff. All the while the MJ business explodes. Hmmmmmmm.

If that was the case wouldn’t MJ be legal federally?

The only reason MJ will continue to be federally illegal is to allow enforcement whenever needed.  Why would the feds give that up?  There is seriously money in enforcement.

[fandandy 3,311]

We should legalize everything.  I am certain that would fix this problem.  And let them do whatever they want while they live wherever they want.

UTOPIA

You just shat on the sidewalk.

NO, YOUTOPIA.  

[fandandy 3,311]

These fockers should be rounded up across this once great nation and put into concentration camps where there are no drugs available nor shade and be allowed to rot and die.

Go Away.

Isn’t there serious money in tax revenues too if it’s legalized?
