Michael Yagmin, the ex-New Britain firefighter who lost his job amid a drug scandal, was killed last month by an accidental overdose of fentanyl and xylazine, the medical examiner's office reported Tuesday.
New Britain and its fire union have reached a deal for random drug testing nearly six months after the drug-related death of an off-duty 36-year-old firefighter led to revelations of drug use in multiple city firehouses.
Michael Yagmin was fired after he lied about selling heroin or fentanyl to firefighter Matthew Dizney, who died of a suspected overdose, Mayor Erin Stewart said.
