Sounds like panic attacks to me. A lot of these cases of cops/ems feeling fucked up because they touched somebody who od'd on fentanyl can be chalked up to anxiety.
Fentanyl is certainly scary, but law enforcement folks really exaggerate the risk of incidental exposure. They're so scared of it, they imagine the symptoms of intoxication. The DEA has guidance for first responders -

So.. what happened??
Curious what the final cause of death will be.
