Just last night I watched Pulp Fiction on tv. I hadn't see it for awhile and forgot how painful it was to watch Uma snort up that heroin and start foaming at the mouth. Today I am reading the news and see that a fisherman in Florida found a white block floating in the ocean and thought that he would cut it up and snort it. That was his second mistake. His first was to not add dog dewormer to it like every other dealer does to stretch out their bottom line. For the price of taking on pure cocaine, he died.
Florida – The Monroe County Sheriff's Office has confirmed that the cause of death for 53-year-old Thomas Swindal — who died after snorting an unknown white powder from a brick he found floating in the Florida Keys — was a cocaine overdose.
The autopsy results have not come back from the Miami-Dade Medical Examiner's Office, but MCSO Deputy Becky Herrin tells the Pulp that the county's forensic department has informed the sheriff's office that a cocaine overdose caused Swindal's death.
Swindal was fishing with his brother off the shore of Marathon last week when they found a brick floating in the water they believed to be a package of cocaine, police say.
Swindal's brother told police that Thomas Swindal decided to put the brick on their boat and, when he looked back at his brother a bit later, noticed he had the package open and was snorting it up. Around 90 minutes later, Swindal began to run around the boat, throwing his cell phone and radio into the water, then began mangling the engine with random tools to the point that it wouldn't start, according to the cops.Swindal's brother then threw all the sharp things and the mystery package of powder off the boat before signaling state Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission officers to rescue them.
Swindal was taken to the South Miami Hospital and died the next day, police say.
