The figures for this year and 2008 have not yet been released.

This is a difficult question, because there are a number of ways to die that are directly related to drug abuse, but not always reported that way. For example, overdoses of alcohol that lead to death are drug abuse, but that information is normally kept in a different database. Then there are a variety of drug interactions and accidental deaths (principally while driving), deaths due to hostile actions by others, prostitutes (male and female) who are killed while prostituting themselves for drugs or money to buy them, and so forth. Then there are the suicides.

You may be assured that, regardless of the numbers that are eventually posted, the number of young people who were really killed by drugs is much higher than those shown as having overdosed.
