Colorado Man Sentenced for Minor's Fentanyl Overdose

Daniel Carmody, 48, was sentenced to six years in prison for drug-induced homicide after delivering heroin and cocaine to 31-year-old Daniel Liewald, who subsequently died from a fentanyl and cocaine overdose. In a separate case, Nathanial Matheny, 23, received a combined sentence of 71 months in federal prison and 48 months in state prison for possession with intent to distribute fentanyl and for removing human remains after a minor overdosed. Matheny's actions followed the death of a 16-year-old girl who died from a fentanyl overdose in May 2021, after which he admitted to taking her body home. Prosecutors emphasize the importance of holding drug dealers accountable for the tragic consequences of their actions, highlighting the ongoing fentanyl crisis in communities. Both cases underscore the serious legal repercussions associated with drug-related offenses, particularly in light of the opioid epidemic. Law enforcement officials continue to stress the need for collaboration to combat the distribution of dangerous substances.
