A father wants to spread awareness about synthetic opioids sold to teens after he says his son died of an overdose.
Christian Boivin says 15-year-old Mathis was a normal teenager with many friends who loved life, travelling and music. His life was cut short on Dec. 21 when he took a drug known as isotonitazene thinking it was oxycodone, said Boivin.
“For us it was a normal day. We had dinner with him. He went to his bedroom after that to play video games with a friend,” he said.
“In the morning at eight, I was listening to his alarm and went, ‘Mathis, Mathis!’
