Burnaby's death toll is now at nine for 2023 to date.
Another three lives were lost to overdoses by illicit drugs in Burnaby during April, a new report shows.
The province says 206 lives were lost across B.C. during April, raising the total during the year to 814. "Cocaine, methamphetamines and/or benzodiazapines are also often present. This drug poisoning crisis is the direct result of an unregulated drug market. Members of our communities are dying because non-prescribed, non-pharmaceutical fentanyl is poisoning them on an unprecedented scale."
