Milwaukee County has seen a 170 percent increase in fentanyl deaths over the past five years.
The county’s medical examiner yesterday said there have been 211 confirmed fatal drug overdoses this year as of June 15th. Last year saw 613 deadly overdoses. Not all of them are related to fentanyl, but a growing number of them are. The M-E says this year is on pace to break last year’s drug-death-mark.
