A new designer drug that was found in the system of the late "One Direction" singer Liam Payne is now being found on the Treasure Coast.

It's called "Pink Cocaine," but Martin County Sheriff William Snyder says that's misleading.

"They're seeing something in pink. It's such a misnomer. It's almost something that's pleasant. This is not pleasant. This is death."

He tells CBS 12 News that there is no cocaine in the mixture of hallucinogenics like MDMA and ketamine.

Snyder believes it's only a matter of time before fentanyl shows up in a batch.

Authorities warn that Narcan can't reverse the effects of these types of drugs.
