Overdose victims
According to a report with the Oklahoma State Board of Medical Licensure and Supervision, the patients whose deaths the state alleged were linked to Lilly’s prescribing were:
JG, who died on March 26, 2010. Toxicology reports found a combination of morphine, hydrocodone, oxycodone, hydromorphone and alprazolam, an anti-anxiety drug. His records showed a history of substance misuse.
GC, who died on Dec. 17, 2011. Toxicology reports found a high level of fentanyl. GC already was receiving fentanyl, oxycodone and alprazolam, but Lilly didn’t perform a drug screening before adding Dilaudid, another opioid, to the mix.
CO, who died Dec. 20, 2011. Toxicology reports found oxycodone and two antianxiety drugs. When CO last saw Lilly on Dec. 9, 2011, the doctor prescribed 180 long-acting oxycodone pills and 240 fast-acting oxycodone pills.
SA, who died March 17, 2012. Toxicology reports found a dangerously high level of morphine. SA also received potentially risky prescriptions from other physicians.
RT, who died May 11, 2012. Toxicology reports found fentanyl, morphine, oxycodone and two anti-anxiety drugs, among other medications. Two days before dying, RT filled prescriptions from Lilly for oxycodone, morphine, a muscle relaxant and an anti-anxiety medication. Lilly wasn’t prescribing fentanyl at the time of RT’s death.
