A new B.C. Coroners Service report makes clear the province’s unprecedented epidemic of drug-overdose deaths continues with no end in sight.
The number of fatal overdoses across B.C. last March was 161, according to the coroner’s latest monthly update.
That’s only one body less than the record high of 162 fatal overdoses that was set in December 2016.
Monthly numbers are often revised several times as additional autopsies are completed and new lab data comes back, and so it’s possible the March 2018 number will grow to make that month the very worst on record.
