Cuyahoga County Medical Examiner issues public health alert amid 30 overdose deaths already in July

As Northeast Ohio continues to battle the opioid epidemic, July 2022 has been a grim month for Cuyahoga County so far. County Medical Examiner Dr. Thomas Gilson has issued a public health alert amid 30 overdose deaths already in the first 12 days of July. Fifteen of those deaths have come in the last four days alone, with the victims ranging in age from 30 to 78 and most of them being from Cleveland. "When we see these things, I think it reinforces one of the sad things about the opioid crisis [which] is people are still dying at pretty alarming numbers," Gilson told 3News. "We had close to 700 people die of drug overdoses [in Cuyahoga County] last year. That was up significantly from the previous three years, where we were at about 550."
