In the state morgue in Concord, New Hampshire, Dr. Thomas A. Andrew was slicing through the lung of a 36-year-old woman when white foam seeped out onto the autopsy table. Foam in the lungs is a sign of acute intoxication caused by an #opioid. But Thomas, New Hampshire's chief medical examiner, couldn’t be certain of the cause of death until he could rule out other causes. There were 64,000 #overdose deaths last year across the U.S. — up 22% from the previous year. New Hampshire has more deaths per capita from synthetic opioids like fentanyl than any other state. But routine autopsies are overtaxing medical examiners across the country. “I’m not an alarmist by nature, but this is not overhyped,” Thomas said. Having watched the drug toll mount, he’s no longer content simply to catalog it. Last month, after 2 decades, he retired to explore the mysteries of the soul. He’s entering a #seminary program to pursue a divinity degree, and ultimately plans to minister to young people to stay away from drugs. “After seeing thousands of sudden, unexpected or violent deaths,” he said, “I have found it impossible not to ponder the spiritual dimension of these events.” @heislerphoto took this portrait of Thomas this week at the Hidden Valley Scout Ranch.
