Stark County (eastern Ohio, population: 375,586) required an emergency portable morgue from the state this weekend after the coroner's office was overwhelmed by fatal opioid overdoses, per ABC News 5 in Cleveland.
The county had to process 50 percent more bodies than its morgue's capacity this weekend. And it's seen a 20% increase for the year to date.
A local struggle: "It has undone all of the coroner's offices. We are spending tens of thousands of dollars a month on toxicologies and we have to keep adding to that."
