Police have found a large quantity of fentanyl, other narcotics, and drug paraphernalia hidden in a trapdoor at a New York City daycare where a boy died from suspected fentanyl exposure.
 
Photos released by New York City Police Department show more than a dozen plastic bags filled with brown and white powders.
 
Authorities say the investigation is ongoing.
 
One-year-old Nicholas Dominici died of a suspected drug overdose at the nursery last Friday. He was at the nursery for just a week.
 
Fentanyl had been hidden in the nap room under a mat as the child slept.
 
Three other children were admitted to hospital after being exposed to the powerful narcotic at the Divino Niño nursery in the Bronx.
 
The nursery's owner, Grei Mendez, and her tenant, Carlisto Acevedo Brito, are facing federal charges of narcotics possession with intent to distribute resulting in death and conspiracy to distribute narcotics resulting in death.
