--- Quote ---Cocaine Bear: True story of infamous bear who consumed duffel bag of cocaine and got Hollywood treatment
Animal overdosed after it ate 70 pounds of drugs thrown out of plane by infamous smuggler
When Georgia investigators stumbled across the infamous Cocaine Bear in 1985 its cause of death was unmistakable.
The 175-pound black bear was found next to a duffel bag that had once been filled with more than 70 pounds of cocaine before it was hurled from a drug smuggler’s plane.
Except now it was ripped open with 40 empty packets scattered near the overdosed animal’s carcass.
Now the wild story of the Cocaine Bear has been given the Hollywood thriller treatment and turned into a movie.
