(U) Overview 

(U) The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) Philadelphia Field Division (PFD) Intelligence 

Program conducted a broad analysis of the impact of illicit drug and diverted pharmaceutical misuse in 

Pennsylvania, as examined through drug-related overdose death data. According to a 2015 report, 

Pennsylvania ranked ninth in the country in drug overdose deaths (18.9 per 100,000 people); drug 

overdoses were reported as the leading cause of injury.1 

(U) Background 

(U) Drug-related overdose deaths are increasing nationwide;2 as such, it is imperative for law 

enforcement entities to maintain awareness of the drugs of abuse in the communities that we serve. An 

understanding of this can be achieved through analysis of drug-related overdose death data. This 

information, combined with analysis of other indicators such as sources of information, drug treatment 

statistics, non-fatal overdoses, naloxone administrations, probation/parole drug test results, and law 

enforcement seizures, paints a broad picture of drug availability and abuse, and the resulting impact on 

public health and safety. 

(U) Since 2008, the PFD Intelligence Program has collected records related to deaths caused by drugs 

from coroner offices and medical examiners in Pennsylvania. Deaths that result from the abuse or 

misuse of illicit street drugs and diverted pharmaceuticals are of particular interest to DEA and its law 

enforcement partners, as they reflect the most malicious way the illegal drug trade damages and 

destroys lives. Since coroners and medical examiners require toxicology to make determinations about 

the causes of these kinds of deaths, their efforts provide indicators of the specific substances that pose 

the greatest threats to members of the community served by DEA.3 

(U) The PFD worked as part of a coalition with the Philadelphia/Camden High Intensity Drug 

Trafficking Area (HIDTA), Pennsylvania State Police, Pennsylvania Office of the Attorney General 

Bureau of Narcotics Investigation and Drug Control, and the Pennsylvania Department of Drug and 

Alcohol Programs, in this collection effort. This endeavor has presented challenges, due principally to 

the lack of timely and centralized reporting of drug-related overdose deaths from Pennsylvania’s 67 

counties. 

(U) This assessment represents the first comprehensive analysis of drug-related overdose deaths in 

Pennsylvania and is based on the joint work of the aforementioned agencies in collecting data. 

Included in this analysis are data reported by 62 counties (See Figure 1). Despite numerous requests 

and offers of assistance with data retrieval, five counties did not provide drug-related overdose death 

data. Please see the Outlook section of this report for more information on the impact to this 

assessment and beyond. 

(U) In addition to this data source, the coalition of agencies described above continues to collect data 

on naloxone administrations by emergency medical services (EMS) and law enforcement personnel, as 

well as non-fatal drug overdose data, with the purpose of assessing regional trends in drug abuse, 

emerging drug threats, and identifying drug sources of supply.

(U) Key Findings 

(U) Heroina was the most frequently identified drug (more than 51 percent) in the toxicology test 

results of drug-related overdose decedents in 2014. 

(U) Fifty-eight counties reported drug-related overdose deaths in 2014, of which 48 reported heroin as 

the most frequently identified drug in toxicology test results. 

(U) Heroin abuse is truly ubiquitous; analysis of toxicology test results indicated the presence of heroin 

in drug-related overdose decedents in 94 percent of the counties that reported drug-related overdose 

deaths in 2014. 

(U) Illicit drugs were the largest drug category (42 percent) identified in the toxicology test results, 

with heroin comprising 65 percent of the illicit drug mentions. 

(U) More than 60 percent of the drug-related overdose decedents indicated the presence of an opioid, 

with oxycodone the most frequently identified (~30 percent). 

(U) A benzodiazepine was present in approximately 50 percent of drug-related overdose decedents. 

Within the benzodiazepines, alprazolam (Xanax®) was the most frequently reported (~40 percent), and 

also the second most frequently identified drug in all decedents. 

(U) The majority (64 percent) of drug-related overdose decedents were male; whites (non-Hispanics) 

comprised the largest race demographic (80 percent), and the highest number of decedents fell into the 

31-45 age group (34.7 percent), although the 46-60 age group followed closely with 33.5 percent. 

(U) Twelve rural counties4 

were among the 20 counties with the highest rate of drug-related deaths 

per 100,000 people. 

(U) The vast majority of reporting counties did not provide toxicology test results for synthetic 

cannabinoids or cathinones; therefore, it is not possible to draw conclusions regarding the abuse of 

these substances or their involvement in drug-related overdose deaths. Receipt and analysis of 

toxicology test results on these substances is vital to determining the extent of abuse and resultant 

impact on drug-related overdoses and deaths. 

(U) Drug-Related Overdose Death Data 

(U) The PFD requested drug-related overdose death data, to include decedents’ gender, age, race, and 

drugs present in toxicology test results, from coroners and medical examiners in Pennsylvania’s 67 

counties for 2014. The cause of death determination is made by the county coroner or medical 

a (U) For the purposes of this report, “heroin” includes the presence of morphine (with and without 6-monoacetylmorphine) 

in the toxicology test results. For more information on this definition and impact on the data analysis, please see the Data 

Challenges section of this report.

(U) Toxicology Test Results 

(U) For analytical purposes, the toxicology test results for the reported decedents were grouped into 

three categories: illicit drugs, opioids, and benzodiazepines. These categories represent the drug types 

most frequently abused and/or diverted, as identified by public health and law enforcement sources and 

investigations. Several categories of synthetic drugs, to include cannabinoids and cathinones, while 

relevant to this analysis, were not included due to lack of available data. Please see the Data 

Challenges section of this report for more information. 

(U) Analysis was conducted on the drugs included within each category as listed in Figure 3; this list 

and subsequent analysis is not inclusive of every drug identified in the provided toxicology test results. 

The full description of each drug of interest and corresponding placement in the Controlled Substance 

Schedule can be found in Appendix A.

(U) Prescription Opioids 

(U) The opioids of interest identified in the toxicology test results included fentanylc

, hydrocodone

oxymorphone (Opana®), and tramadol (Ultram®). Figure 8 illustrates the number of instances that 

each of the aforementioned opioids was noted in individual decedents’ toxicology reports.

(U) Analysis identified 1107 decedents with the presence of an opioid of interest. Within this subset, 

oxycodone was the most frequently identified drug. Demographic analysis (see Figure 9) revealed the 

decedents to be approximately 59 percent male and 83 percent white (non-Hispanic), with the largest 

number of decedents in the 46-60 age range (39 percent).

c (U) Laboratory analysis conducted during toxicology testing identifies the presence of fentanyl in microgram quantities in 

the blood. However, standard laboratory testing available to, and used most often, by law enforcement personnel and 

medical examiners does not identify the type of fentanyl present (illicit versus pharmaceutical); this occurs only in an 

advanced forensic or research laboratory based upon a special request by law enforcement entities. Therefore, it is not 

possible to definitively conclude the type of fentanyl (illicit versus pharmaceutical) present in these decedents.

(U) Data Challenges 

(U) For the purposes of this report, toxicology test results indicating morphine were categorized as 

heroin. Distinguishing heroin use from other opiates via blood or urine samples is problematic due to 

the short half-life of heroin and its primary metabolite, 6-monoaceytlmorphine (6-MAM) in these 

fluids. Heroin and 6-MAM are detectable in urine for only a few hours. Morphine and codeine are 

secondary metabolites of heroin and are more persistent in biological fluids than heroin or 6-MAM.6 

Information regarding the circumstances of each death was not analyzed in preparing this report; 

therefore, it may not be possible to definitely conclude the origins of morphine as a metabolite versus 

that which was therapeutically administered. In an effort to quantify the impact of this methodology, 

further analysis of the toxicology test results for morphine-positive decedents was conducted. This 

analysis identified 646 morphine-positive/6-MAM negative decedents (50 percent). 

(U) Figure 15 shows all of the drugs found in the morphine-positive/6-MAM negative decedents’ 

toxicology test results. Within this group, 20 percent revealed the presence of fentanyl, 19 percent 

revealed the presence of oxycodone, 16 percent revealed the presence of cocaine, and 5 percent 

revealed the presence of methadone. As discussed above, it is difficult to draw conclusions based on 

the absence of 6-MAM, as toxicology testing capabilities and requests vary widely throughout 

Pennsylvania.7

(U) In addition, the existence of valid prescriptions for opioids such as oxycodone, hydrocodone, 

alprazolam, fentanyl, etc., were not analyzed in this report; therefore, it is not possible to assess if these 

substances were obtained fraudulently, were diverted from legitimate sources, or the method of 

administration. 

(U) The cause of death determination is made by the county coroner or medical examiner; this 

assessment included only deaths classified as a drug-related overdose. However, the determination of 

causation related to overdoses is subjective and can vary widely depending on the investigative 

efforts/abilities of the coroner and the evidence available for review. There are inherent difficulties in 

making causation decisions,8 especially related to heroin overdoses; therefore, it is possible that the 

data analyzed in this assessment underrepresents the true number and nature of drug-related overdose 

deaths in Pennsylvania. 

(U) Each reporting county in Pennsylvania is responsible for procuring or conducting toxicology 

testing, most commonly accomplished through the services of private laboratories. The scope of the 

requested toxicology tests are conducted at the discretion of the requestor. Therefore, this dataset is 

not standardized, and the lack of reporting of a particular drug in a county cannot be construed to mean 

that it was not present, but instead may not have been part of the requested toxicology test panel. The 

standard toxicology test panels used most often by coroners and medical examiners do not include 

testing for synthetic cannabinoids or cathinones; therefore, it is not possible to analyze or draw 

conclusions regarding the impact of these substances in the overdose data set.9 In addition, many 

counties, to include Philadelphia, do not test for marijuana or buprenorphine (Suboxone®); therefore, 

the ability to draw conclusions on the use and/or abuse of these substances in this dataset is limited. 

(U) In addition, the response to the data request by each county varied widely. Numerous counties 

provided detailed toxicology test results, while others provided only summaries of the laboratory 

findings. Therefore, it is possible that not all identified drugs were reported for each decedent. 

(U) Several of the drugs of interest analyzed in this report are available in parent form and also as a 

metabolite. An example is oxymorphone as it is available as a parent drug under the brand name 

Opana®, and also as a metabolite of oxycodone. The toxicology test results provided for this analysis 

do not discern between parent drug and metabolite; therefore, it is possible that the rate of use and/or 

abuse of these drugs may be overrepresented if both were present. The drugs falling into this 

classification are noted with an asterisk in Figure 3. 

(U) Finally, the data request for this assessment did not include residential address or zip code of the 

decedent. Therefore, it is not possible to examine or conclude that the county in which the person died 

was the county of their residence. Furthermore, the data does not identify the location from which 

illicit drugs or diverted pharmaceuticals were purchased or obtained.

(U) Outlook 

(U) In 2014, the Pennsylvania legislature passed measures to address multiple elements of the 

prescription drug abuse crisis, as well as the corresponding increase in overdoses and deaths related to 

prescription opioids and heroin. One measure established a more stringent prescription drug 

monitoring program (PDMP); the other allowed for expanded administration of naloxone and “Good 

Samaritan” reporting of overdoses. 

(U) The codification of these measures marks significant progress in Pennsylvania’s efforts to address 

the crisis of prescription opioid and heroin abuse. The new laws should, in time, reduce the readiness 

with which prescription opioid seekers can obtain them from medical professionals. In addition, the 

naloxone legislation should increase the likelihood that a third-party will intervene on behalf of 

someone suspected of experiencing an opioid overdose, thereby limiting fatal overdoses. 

(U) The PFD will continue efforts, in conjunction with our law enforcement and public health partners, 

to define and address the factors impacting availability, use, and abuse of illicit drugs and diverted 

pharmaceuticals in Pennsylvania. This assessment presents the first comprehensive baseline analysis 

of drug-related overdose death data at the county level for Pennsylvania, and will assuredly be used by 

local, state, and federal entities to define the threats to their respective areas of responsibility and to 

implement responses to these threats through requests for funding and grants, allocation of existing 

resources, and decisions regarding public policy. However, the data collection hurdles discussed 

earlier present a significant barrier to the examination of initiatives implemented to address this 

epidemic. The reluctance on the part of some coroners to share drug-related overdose death data with 

law enforcement officials is based, in part, on an inaccurate assumption or belief that this data will be 

used by law enforcement personnel for targeting or exploitation of victim’s families. In actuality, 

timely data sharing is vital to crafting initiatives to address the expanding drug threats throughout 

Pennsylvania; success of these initiatives is predicated on continued law enforcement and public health 

partnerships and an active and cooperative information sharing environment.
