The majority of the deaths are because of a combonation of drugs, and don't forget they can't tell if the person used oxycontin, percocet, roxicodone, oxyfast, or any other substance that contained oxycodone. This information is BS, I bet less than 100 of those deaths were from oxycodone alone and god only knows how many of them were suicide. If someone takes an OC and died 2 days later from alcohol poisoning, oxycodone still comes up in their urine and would be listed as a cause of death. This information has too many holes to draw anything from it, though what do you expect from the DEA.
