Drug officials fear the apparent Drug Overdose of actor Philip Seymour hoffman is evidence of a trend a sharp increase in americans use of heroin. Cnns brian todd reports. Envelopes in his apartment believed to contain heroin, according to Law Enforcement sources. Along with more than 20 syringes. If he did overdose on heroin Philip Seymour hoffmans final hours reflect what us Officials Say is a menacing tide. We have an explosion in heroin use in this country. In a 2002 survey, according to the government, 166thousand americans said theyd used heroin in the past month. Now . About 333thousand people are using it every month. Heroinoverdose deaths in the us went up 45percent between 2006 and 2010, according to the cdc. One big reason for the rise in use the nationwide crackdown on prescriptionpill abuse.

And if you mix any of that with heroin, what happens . Its hard to dilute it so the heroinuser has no idea what theyre getting. And they put that into their arm, laced with fentanyl and its a deadly its what we call hotshots.
