A promising Toronto criminal lawyer has become one of the city’s latest victims in the growing opioid crisis.

Defence lawyer Aghi Balachandran died of a fentanyl overdose several days after being removed in life-threatening condition from a west-end Toronto apartment on Saturday night where a man and woman, both in their 30s, were found dead.

Toronto Police responded to an overdose call in the Queen-Dufferin Sts. area at 8:20 p.m. involving the three people.

Police believe they died from fentanyl overdoses but the investigation is continuing, said spokesman Meaghan Gray. The identities and occupations of the man and woman found dead at the scene weren’t released.

“He was aspiring and building a positive practice. He was well-liked by everybody and had unlimited potential,” said senior Scarborough Crown attorney Paul Kelly. “It’s a great loss and extremely sad.”

Another crown attorney, James Dunda, described him as a bright, trustworthy and upstanding lawyer.

“He was a smart, young lawyer who was above board in his dealings,” added Dunda. “He worked very hard on a case last month (resulting in a dismissal of an impaired driving charge against his client) and I was extremely impressed with him.”

Balachandran was single and had no children.

Fentanyl is a powerful synthetic opioid used as a painkiller. It is similar to morphine but up to 100 times more potent and much stronger than cocaine or heroin. It is used to dilute more expensive recreational drugs such as cocaine. Fentanyl is highly dangerous and often leads to overdose deaths.

Toronto Public Health statistics indicate 127 people have died so far this year from opioid overdoses, including 51 since Aug. 13.
