Some additional tables are described in the sections which follow, and available via links at the end of those sections.
Drugs and other substances which were reported as being present in the body for drug-related deaths
The following tables list all the drugs and other substances that have been reported as present in the body based on two definitions: drug misuse deaths and drug poisoning deaths (the wider definition).
Both tables are split into parts A and B. Part A provides the substances which were implicated in, or which contributed to, the cause of death (as reported from 2008; up to 2007, this list covers all the substances which were reported). Part B contains the list of substances which were present but which were not considered to have had any direct contribution to the death (as reported from 2008; this list has no information for the years up to 2007).
