Cocaine and a Dead Bear
BLUE RIDGE, Ga., Dec. 22 (UPI) A 175-pound black bear apparently died of an overdose of cocaine after discovering a batch of the drug, the Georgia Bureau of Investigation said today.

The bureau said the bear was found Friday in northern Georgia among 40 opened plastic containers with traces of cocaine.
