A Florida man, found eaten by an alligator this summer, died from a meth overdose before his body was ripped apart by the reptile, according to a medical examiner's findings.
Michael Ford, 45, was found face down in a canal in Fort Meade on June 27 and Polk County Sheriff's investigators theorized he might have drowned before an alligator began eating the man's remains, NBC News reported.
A hand and a foot belonging to Ford was found in the beast's stomach.

How’d the alligator do? Did it get zapped by meth too?
To: Meatspace
So that explains the alligator on the “Faces of Meth” website.

I shirley hope after ingesting all that meth, the alligator is OK.

I’m worried about the alligator too. Do you think he (or she) is an addict now?

A hand and a foot belonging to Ford was found in the beast's stomach.Ingesting just enough to "take the edge off."
To: Meatspace
Great. Now we have to open treatment centers for gators.

“A hand and a foot belonging to Ford was found in the beast's stomach.”
So meth doesn't cost and arm and a leg...

Article didn't explain how it was caught. Maybe it turned itself in.

Did the alligator die from a human overdose?

saved money on the funeral. you don’t bury alligator snit.

"I’m worried about the alligator too. Do you think he (or she) is an addict now?" If I was a betting man, I would wager that the gator did not survive having the man's hand foot removed from its stomach.
