Alissa Scheller A breakdown of the 15 "kratom-related deaths" GBI has reported since 2016. GBI’s broad-brush treatment of kratom-related deaths does nothing to expand this understanding, and may actually obscure it by a producing a misleading narrative about mitragynine’s effects. At the very least, these questions show there must be more transparency when it comes to reporting on kratom-related deaths. The autopsy doesn’t make clear how the medical examiner determined Grove’s kratom use had brought about his death. Grove’s death was the only case of its kind in Cherokee County, said Deputy Coroner Chuck Foster.
