Health officials and drug treatment experts were alarmed this fall to learn that 548 Ohioans had died of drug overdoses in May, the most in any month in at least 14 years.
And newly released preliminary figures from the Ohio Department of Health indicate that May was not a statistical outlier.
Overdose deaths in June and July also have set monthly record highs, claiming 481 and 442 lives, respectively.
County coroners are given six months to investigate and rule on overdose deaths, which means that should the trend continues, deaths are on track to break the all-time annual record of 4,854 set in 2017.
20% increase in deaths the first months of 2020, compared to 2019
