“My beautiful boy is gone,” Berman wrote Sunday in an Instagram post, which includes an undated photo of her and her son smiling at the camera as Berman embraces him.
” A drug dealer contacted him on Snapchat and gave him (fentanyl) cut Xanax or Percocet (toxicology will tell) and he gave an overdose in his room, ” the photo caption said. “They do it because it concerns people even more and is good for business, but it causes an overdose and the children do not know what they are taking.”
Sammy died Sunday afternoon after an “experiment went bad”, she said, adding that he “had to deliver the drugs at home”. He was pronounced dead at the Santa Monica home despite the efforts of firefighter paramedics who responded to the scene, authorities said.
