A police officer in East Liverpool, Ohio, collapsed and was rushed to the hospital after he brushed fentanyl residue off his uniform, allowing the drug to enter his system through his hands. The officer had apparently encountered the opioid earlier in the day while making a drug bust.
"This is scary. He could have walked out of the building and left and he could have passed out while he was driving. You don't even know it's there on his clothes," East Liverpool Police Chief John Lane told CNN.

It is not possible, at least not according to my anesthetist wife. It is really not possible to overdose just by brushing it off of clothes. Maybe he had an allergic reaction or had he inhaled it. Another plausible explanation ca also be that it was combined with other drugs/opioids.
I made an account just to comment on this.
