(South Carolina State Library, 2024-08) South Carolina Violent Death Reporting System; South Carolina Department of Public Health
The South Carolina Violent Death Reporting System (SCVDRS) combines data from law enforcement reports. death certificates, and coroner/medical examiner reports (including toxicology) to pool data on violent deaths and their circumstances into one anonymous database. SCVDRS data includes decedents who were fatally injured and died within South Carolina whether or not they were South Carolina residents. South Carolina residents who were fatally injured or died outside of South Carolina were not included in this report. Therefore SCVDRS death counts and rates may differ from South Carolina DPH Vital Statistics. These statistics reflect the years 2017-2021.
