Miami cannibal attack: Rudy Eugene and victim Ronald Poppo





Marijuana was the only drug found in the body of a face-chewing attacker shot dead as he ate his homeless victim's flesh.

Active chemicals from the drug were detected in Rudy Eugene’s system, but there was no sign of illegal or prescription drugs, or alcohol.

The 31-year-old's girlfriend had previously said he must have been drugged without his knowledge before the attack on 65-year-old Ronald Poppo in Florida.

The results were released weeks after a Miami police union official speculated that Eugene's bizarre behaviour may have meant he was under the influence of "bath salts", a synthetic stimulant which can cause aggression and hallucinations.

Another woman identifying herself as his girlfriend had suggested he might have been under the influence of a voodoo curse.

It remains unclear what led Eugene - said to be a religious man who read the Bible and the Koran - to take off all his clothes and carry out the grisly assault on Mr Poppo, who was also stripped naked and beaten.

The police officer who shot Eugene dead said he growled when he told him to stop before continuing to eat his victim.

Pictures released of Mr Poppo in hospital in the days after the attack showed the appalling extent of his injuries, with much of the skin on his face stripped away and his nose missing.

Extreme Munchies


He was ment to be a man of god but smoke weed? Chilled Man of god :lol:

i love the fact its named Zombie Attack and all that haha 1 day we will run free :carling:

Weed can stay in your system for several weeks. I doubt he was even high. Like I said when this story first came out, the media was just molding this story into a weapon in the fight against drugs.

Shoot all potheads in the face, or they'll eat yours.

:ha!:

It was LSD the guy took

Im sorry but they just did a test and he didnt take that..

Didnt you read the thread at all?

I did, thats why I said he took LSD he was positive with LSD as well then.. A news reporter said

I don't like when someone says "take weed", or even "do weed". You don't take it, you smoke it.

Weed definitely didn't cause him to do it. It has to be something else whether it be another drug or just insanity. I also find it funny how the media spread that it was bath salts based off of a "speculation" by police. :ha!:



"The department's toxicology laboratory has identified the active components of marijuana," medical examiner Dr. Bruce Hyma said in a statement. "The laboratory has tested for but not detected any other street drugs, alcohol or prescription drugs ... This includes cocaine, LSD, amphetamines (Extasy, Meth and others), phencyclidine (PCP or Angel Dust), heroin, oxycodone, Xanax, synthetic marijuana (Spice), and many other similar compounds."

And they said weed was harmless :dumb:
