CDC maps show fatal overdoses have risen in all but EIGHT states

Fatal drug overdoses have risen in all but eight US states in the past year, according to official data that lays bare America's drug crisis.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention () estimates there were a total of 109,673 overdose deaths in the year to April — a new record.

And the provisional death count is likely to be an underestimate, the CDC said, because drug overdoses can take months to be registered.
