Through an investigation by the Woodstock Police Department, it was determined that Marinas gave a substance containing fentanyl to the woman and she ingested the fentanyl.
A forensic pathologist determined that her death was caused by the fentanyl provided to her by Marinas.
The investigation was led by Detective David Sharp of the Woodstock Police Department and was prosecuted by Matthew Brodersen of the McHenry County State’s Attorney’s Office.
