A 30-year-old man who was found eaten by a bear in September 2018 died first from a methamphetamine overdose, an autopsy revealed.
William Lee Hill Jr. died from “accidental methamphetamine intoxication” before his remains were scavenged by a bear, Great Smoky Mountains National Park officials said in a press release on Feb. 4. Hill and a friend were at the park to illegally forage for ginseng, an herb that can fetch high prices.
