Not really. It's the combo of fentanyl and morphine and the other stuff that went over the top. The normal lethal dose for fentanyl is 2mg total dose and he had a blood level of 11ng/ml. Assuming 5 liters of blood, he took 55ug of fentanyl which is about 1/20th of the lethal dose. It is enough for anesthesia though. And people have died from as little as 7ng/ml if they were also taking morphine. So he definitely ODed, but be careful saying it was just fentanyl because people can prove you wrong.
You cannot make a direct comparison of the dose and blood concentration.
Metabolism matters, so one has to look at the blood level of fentanyl of the people who are know to have died from it.
People who died from fentanyl overdose had readings from 0.75 ng/mL to an astounding 113 ng/mL. The average death dose was 9.96 ng/mL.
George Floyd had enough fentanyl in his system to kill 3 people.

So yeah, it's quite likely that Saint George OD'd on fentanyl alone.
