Due to the record number of fentanyl overdose deaths in King County, Washington, the medical examiner is running out of places to store the dead bodies.
Seattle-King County Public Health Director Dr. Faisal Khan said during a recent Board of Health meeting, “The Medical Examiner’s Office is now struggling with the issue of storing bodies because the fentanyl-related death toll continues to climb. Obviously, they have finite space in the coolers they use and that space is now being exceeded on a regular basis.”
The county has already had 31 fentanyl overdose deaths in 2023 as of January 22. In 2022, King County saw 1,019 fatal overdoses, the highest number of overdose deaths the county has on record with Fentanyl being responsible for 686 of those deaths.
Kahn added, “The biggest driver of these fatal overdoses involves fentanyl in white powder and in fake pills, which are flooding the streets.” It was revealed last week that over half the record number of 310 homeless deaths among the homeless in Washington’s most populous county in 2022 were attributed to Fentanyl.
