Comedian Kate Quigley told a friend she is “okay” after being hospitalized after taking a batch of cocaine-contaminated that killed three people.
“I’m alive. I’m not great. But I’m fine,” he sent a text message to his comic friend Brian Redban, after asking him how the tragedy was going on at a house in Venice on Friday night.
Redban shared a screenshot of Saturday night’s text exchange on Instagram, headlining the story: “I’ve had a bad month .. And that has ruined me .. Hug everyone you love.”
Sources told TMZ that a batch of cocaine with fentanyl was the culprit in the deaths of Fuquan Johnson, writer of “Comedy Parlor Live,” and two other unidentified victims.
Quigley, who lives next door to the house and recently went out with Hootie and Blowfish singer Darius Rucker, was hospitalized in critical condition.
Fentanyl, a synthetic analgesic up to 100 times more potent than heroin, has been a factor in the deaths of Prince, Mac Miller and Tom Petty.
