So, this surviving stand up comic, with a bunch of dead/dying people around her called the dealer first to come clean up and then called a 1-800 drug line and hung up on them and then called 911.

She also loves the sympathy she is getting so, is milking it for all it is worth.

Opioid Crisis As Kate Quigley Recovers … Fentanyl Strips Seen as Key

Kate Quigley says she’s getting back to her old self as her recovery from a near-fatal overdose — spurred by fentanyl-laced cocaine — continues … which begs the question … why don’t more people know about (or use) strips that can detect the lethal poison?

The comedian recently posted an update on her journey back to normal, suggesting she was getting some sort of rehab done down in Mexico … where she thanked everyone who’d helped her thus far get back to the old Kate everyone knows and loves.

It’s an encouraging sign for sure — but the deaths of Fuquan Johnson, Rico Angeli and Natalie Williamson still linger … and with the advent of fentanyl strips — which have been on the market for at least a couple years or so — it makes one wonder if they could’ve made a difference here.

If you’re unfamiliar … these strips come exactly as advertised. They’re able to be applied to just about any drug and like a litmus test … can tell you if the narcotics have the opioid or not. While not always 100% effective, they do seem to work more often than not … and are sometimes distributed to drug users. Although, not nearly as much as they should be. – Source

Comedian Fuquan Johnson Among 3 Dead After Suspected OD … 4th Comic Hospitalized

12:44 PM PT — 9/5 — TMZ has learned the names of the other two people who died from an apparent OD, alongside Fuquan Johnson — and one is, indeed, another comic.

Law enforcement tells us that the two other deceased victims are Enrico Colangeli (Rico Angeli) and Natalie Williamson, who were 48 and 33 years old, respectively. Meanwhile, it looks like Kate Quigley is going to pull through.

Comedian Brian Redban posted an update on Kate’s health, and she appears to have responded to him saying she’s alive, although not doing great. Still, good news.

Comedian Fuquan Johnson died this weekend of an apparent overdose — along with two others — while a fourth person is in the hospital … the recent girlfriend of one Darius Rucker, TMZ has learned.

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ … there was a get-together Friday night at someone’s house in the Venice neighborhood of L.A., where Johnson was in attendance — as was Kate Quigley … a comedian/model who has been, of late, dating the Hootie & the Blowfish lead singer — this after the guy split with his longtime wife just last summer. – Source
