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.
