The state of Washington says 63 suicide prescriptions were dispensed during the first nine months of the states "death with dignity" act to people between the ages of 48 and 95.
The Health Department said that of the 63 who received lethal doses, 47 are known to have died.
36 of them died after taking the medications and 7 most likely died from their ailment. The agency says it doesn't know the details of the other 4 because the death certificate or report hasn't been filed.
