If overdose deaths don't slow down in Franklin County, Ohio, a temporary morgue may be needed to store the bodies
The county has seen 23 overdose deaths from January 31 to February 7, Dr. Anahi Ortiz, the county's coroner, said in a statement on her Facebook page. The next day, the county had five more.Most of the deaths were likely due to fentanyl, Ortiz said.Morgue techs are"constantly working [and] don't take lunch" to keep up with the overdose deaths, the county coroner told CNN affiliate WSYX.
While Franklin County usually has one or two overdose deaths in a day, Ortiz said on Facebook, one 26-hour period in September 2019 saw 10 people dying of overdoses. That year, overdose deaths in the county were up 15% from the year before, and 90% were opiate related.
