The most-populated county in Ohio might need a second morgue if the number of overdose deaths doesn’t decline.

Franklin County had 23 overdose deaths from Jan. 31 to Feb. 7, county coroner Dr. Anahi Ortiz said in a statement on her Facebook page. Five more people died the next day. The county usually has one or two overdose deaths a day.


quote:

Ortiz said most of the overdoses were likely caused by fentanyl.

Morgue techs are becoming overworked with the number of deaths, Ortiz said. If the rate stays the same or increases, a second morgue will be needed to store the bodies.

In her Facebook post, Ortiz stressed the importance of Narcan, a nasal spray that reverses the effects of opioid overdose, and linked to resources for dealing with opioid overdoses and where to seek treatment if suffering from opioid addiction.

I’m surprised they just don’t buy bus tickets to Florida for the populace.

They need to embrace their reputation as the Florida of the north and invest in an alligator pond.

You want to put a wall up around the whole country? Because fentanyl also comes from China.

Fentanyl comes from a lab. A lab can be setup anywhere and money can be wired back to any country.

So I assume you know of no one who is an addict or was an addict?

If you chase the dragon, sometimes you catch it.

Thread Hijack


I saw a billboard today for a crematory service with pricing listed as "starting at $995". Why are there price differences for a crematory? Do they not BBQ you fully at $995?

That's a hell of a good question.

And $995 to turn someone into ashes? Maybe it depends on the urn you put them in...

At the pet crematorium there are different prices if you want your pet cremated alone by themselves or mixed in with different pets. I don't know if they mix up people.
