A man whose body was discovered partially eaten by a bear in Great Smoky Mountains National Park last year died of a meth overdose before the bear ever got to him, according to an autopsy released on Monday. Without knowing the exact cause of death, park officials and wildlife professionals decided to euthanize the bear a few days later for "public safety reasons." But on Monday, the Knox County Regional Forensic Center revealed Hill died of "accidental methamphetamine intoxication," WATE reported. Morgan, 31, died Oct. 1 at a hospital in Tennessee, according to his obituary, which does not list a cause of death. The park says that attacks on humans are "rare," but that people should stay at least 150 feet away from the animals.
