Best Answer

There is almost always uncertainty whether a drug overdose was accidental, or possibly synergistic (combining drugs), or whether the drugs were used for intentional suicide.

In the US, according to the National Center for Health Statistics, 38,329 people died of drug overdoses in the United States in 2010. Some 22,000 (57%) of those deaths involved prescription drugs, and about 9400 involved a fatal combination of drugs.
