New report shows significant increase in El Paso County drug-related deaths EL PASO COUNTY,  Colo. (KRDO) A new report from the El Paso County Coroner s Office reveals disturbing trends in drug-related deaths, domestic violence, and youth suicides. Overall, there was a 43% increase in people dying from drugs in El Paso County in 2020 compared to 2019, a jump from 130 to 186 people. “It’s not just drugs,” said El Paso County Coroner Dr. Leon Kelly. “Many categories are up. But drugs had an extraordinary [increase] the largest increase certainly since I’ve been here.” Kelly has worked in the coroner’s office since 2008. He says he wasn’t surprised to see a sharp rise in fentanyl deaths, but was taken back by the increase in deaths related to methamphetamine, cocaine, and heroin. In addition, 40% of drug-related deaths were caused by a combination of substances.
