HEALTH DISTRICT REPORT DETAILS RECENT UNINTENTIONAL DRUG OVERDOSE
DEATHS IN LAKE COUNTY
In an effort to better understand the consequences of drug use in Lake
County, the county's General Health District recently released a
report on unintentional drug overdoses in the county.
Partnering with Lake Health and the Lake County Opiate Task Force, the
report details many different statistics about accidental drug
overdoses, which saw an increase to 42 in 2013 compared with 36 in
2012, 37 in 2011 and 35 in 2010.
Dr. David Keep, a pathologist at Lake Health and at the Lake County
Coroner's Office, said he was inspired to gather accurate local
overdose data more quickly, as the problem seemed to really increase
around 2010.
