The British Columbia Coroners Service has announced 201 suspected illicit drug toxicity deaths for the month of October — the deadliest month ever reported in the province as far as opioid-related overdose deaths.

B.C. has recorded 1,782 suspected illicit drug toxicity deaths between January and October, making 2021 the worst year on record.

The numbers are “absolutely devastating” to Kevin Tierney, who has worked through a crippling addiction to fentanyl and crystal meth.

Rumina Daya spoke to Tierney about his road to recovery, and what he says needs to be done to save more lives.
