North Vancouver couple Hardy and Amelia Leighton, whose sudden deaths left their two-year-old boy an orphan, ingested toxic levels of fentanyl, the BC Coroners Service confirmed Wednesday.

The couple — both in their 30s — were found dead in their home on July 20, and the use of illicit drugs was suspected at the time. They are survived by their two-year-old son, Magnus.

"Expedited toxicology testing confirmed that both Mr. and Ms. Leighton had ingested toxic levels of fentanyl in combination with other drugs," a statement from the Coroners Service said.

According to family, the couple were celebrating a move to a new North Vancouver rental home with a yard for their toddler.

Health officials say the Leightons fit the profile of recent overdose deaths linked to fentanyl.

What purpose is served by not listing the "other drugs?" Were they drinking alcohol? Had they taken a benzodiazepine? This is useful information.

Does seem odd to mention fentynal and then say other drugs... leaves a lot unanswered
