The Cuyahoga County Medical Examiner has issued a public health alert after 30 suspected drug overdose deaths during the first two weeks of July.
In a news release, Gilson’s office said 15 deaths from last Friday through early Tuesday are suspected to have been caused by overdoses.
“We do not have all the answers yet, but we will know more shortly. While we are continually on the lookout for new trends in street drugs, such as the carfentanil we saw in 2017, we have learned that the driving force behind overdose deaths in our community, fentanyl, needs no additional help. I caution everyone to be on the lookout and take all necessary safeguards to protect their lives,” Dr. Gilson said.
