Only Marijuana was detected in the system of the man shot while chewing Ronald Poppo’s face in Florida, so states the Miami-Dade County Medical Examiner. No other drugs were found, including bath salts.
The bizarre behavior has led to much speculation as to the cause.
A toxicology expert, Dr Bruce Goldberger, Professor and Director of Toxicology at the University of Florida said that marijuana by itself wasn’t likely to be the cause of the strange behavior demonstrated by Rudy Eugene.
The Medical Examiner’s office in Miami is well known for being thorough in its work according to Goldberger.
It’s not clear what led to the May 26 attack on Ronald Poppo, a 65-year-old homeless man who remains hospitalized. Eugene’s friends and family have said he was religious, not violent and that he didn’t drink or do drugs harder than marijuana. Yovonka Bryant said that she and Eugene would often, together, read the Bible and Quran.
The policeman who shot a naked Eugene to death stated, that he was growled at when he told him to stop. The cause remains unknown what led to the face chewing attack. Friends and family indicate Eugene was religious and not violent and that he was not inclined to do any other drugs other than marijuana.
…Jackson Memorial Hospital released two photos of 65-year-old Ronald Poppo with his permission on Tuesday afternoon, one showing him walking down a corridor assisted on either side by a hospital worker.
Poppo, who is believed to have been homeless in Miami since the mid-to-late 1970s, is covered by Medicare and Medicaid, officials said.
Poppo was lazing on the MacArthur Causeway’s westbound Biscayne Boulevard exit ramp sidewalk May 26 when attacked in broad daylight by naked 31-year-old North Miami Beach resident Rudy Eugene, who was caught on surveillance camera trying to strip off Poppo’s clothes before brutalizing his face.
A police officer responding to multiple 911 calls from drivers and cyclists shot and killed Eugene when he reportedly ignored orders to stop chewing Poppo’s face. An autopsy reportedly discovered Poppo’s flesh in the so called “Miami Cannibal”‘s mouth, but not in his stomach. Police have speculated that Eugene may have been under the influence of a synthetic drug, but a full toxicology report is still pending.
But wait it gets better, the girlfriend says face-chewing attacker was religious and now, Gloria Allred, Jewish defender of female celebrities is now involved and Creflo Dollar, these African Americans were a couple and did bible studies together? The cannibal would have made a good husband? What??
