Below are the current statistics for Fremont County:

- 29 accidental deaths (8 more than this time last year) – 17 involve drugs and/or alcohol
- 9 – motor vehicle related
- 6 – falls
- 6 – direct drug/alcohol toxicity
- 2 – drowning
- 2 – asphyxia

- 10 suicides (6 more than this time last year) – 7 involve drugs and/or alcohol
- 7 homicides (5 more than this time last year) – 6 involve drugs and/or alcohol
11 vehicular deaths so far in 2019 (4 more than this time last year)

- 5 of 6 in vehicles were not wearing safety restraints where they were available
Drugs & Alcohol:
- Account for 29% of all Coroner cases and 65% of non-natural deaths.
- Total cases (natural and non-natural deaths) most common drug related: 35 alcohol, 12 cannabis, 9 methamphetamine, 3 prescription drugs
- No opiate related deaths so far this year
Budget Update:
For the 1st fiscal quarter the Coroner’s office is 2% over budget. Contractual services and autopies (31.2%) and deputy overtime (49.9%) are the main causes of overages. This is due mostly to the types of cases and when they occur. I.e., increase in non-natural deaths.
