More...Around half of the 80,000 deaths a year attributed to drug overdoses in America are caused by medication, new figures suggest today. They also show that the rate of all drug overdoses in the U.S. has more than than doubled over the last decade. A database maintained by the National Center for Health Statistics keeps a tally of all deaths listed on certificates, which are required by law to include an underlying cause.
