Overdose fatalities

Overdose fatalities occur when someone takes an excessive amount of a drug or substance, overwhelming the body's ability to process it. This can lead to life-threatening effects such as breathing problems, loss of consciousness, or organ failure. Overdose risks increase with potent or unfamiliar substances, mixing multiple drugs, or using without medical guidance. These deaths highlight the importance of proper medication management, awareness of substance potency, and access to emergency help, aiming to prevent tragic outcomes and promote safer practices around drug use.
