Not beautiful. More "interesting data set." Source: https://wonder.cdc.gov/ucd-icd10-expanded.html

Drug overdoses count as poisoning. They will break all of these out by 'intent,' meaning accident, suicide, or homicide. About 4% of poison deaths are suicide and another 4% 'undetermined.' I haven't found any details like substance or location.

I would imagine that methodology as to whether or not an OD is classed as intentional or unintentional suicide... is basically inconsistent garbage.

I... have also unfortunately personally seen someone cause an OD in another, as a method of murder.

So... that happens.

No idea how often, in aggregate.
