More than 2,200 Ontarians died from opioids last year as numbers trend downward, data show

June 5, 2025
More than 2,200 Ontarians died from opioids last year, a 15 per cent decrease from 2023, newly released data from the Office of the Chief Coroner shows.“What goes through my head is a small degree of optimism in the fact that we have seen less people die last year, which is very good, but that’s within a context of 2,231 people dying last year,” Dr. Dirk Huyer, the chief coroner, told The Canadian Press in an interview.
