MGN MGN News Channel 3 is continuing to follow the details of former local state Assemblymember Brian Nestande’s death in March .
According to an autopsy report , Nestande’s blood contained a fatal mix of a "designer form of fentanyl and a cocaine metabolite."
Modafinil, commonly used to treat sleep apnea, and Losartan, a high blood pressure medication, from Mexico were found at Nestande’s residence.
The report suggests that one of the medications Nestande was taking could have been laced with a lethal dose of fentanyl.
