    ...it wasn't until public health officials in Washington, Oregon and Ohio went back and combed through five years of data in 2013 to manually confirm - via phone and email - whether or not this or that cadaver became a cadaver due to drugs that we suddenly had an opioid crisis on our hands.

Do you have a source on that? Not skeptical, just really interested in hearing more about this investigation!

...the book I recommended at the bottom of the post you're asking about?

I thought you were recommending that as extra reading, not as your source! The Bloomsbury page doesn't mention the part where they had to manually comb through coroner reports, so I just assumed it was a +1 to the comment :)
