The Milwaukee County Medical Examiner’s Office reports it is handling eight probable overdose deaths from last weekend. Although opioids are the cause of most overdose deaths in the state, a few recent deaths have been blamed on what is called a cocaine cocktail. Milwaukee County has recorded 251 confirmed overdose deaths this year — 100 fewer than at the same time last year. Local officials say that could change as a backlog of 100 toxicology reports are finished.
