Police Suspect Florida's Naked Cannibal May Have Been On Drugs

Police still have no idea why a naked man ate off most of another naked man’s face on the MacArthur Causeway in Miami on Saturday, but many within the force are speculating the crazed cannibal may have been suffering from cocaine psychosis. The strange condition apparently makes sufferers feel like their internal organs are on fire, and they often strip in an attempt to help regulate body temperature.

The attack began at about 2 PM in full view of several witnesses. They quickly alerted authorities who rushed to the scene and ordered the perpetrator to stop eating the victim’s face. When he continued ripping away skin, he was immediately shot. Unfortunately, the bullet was reportedly met only by a large growl, forcing the officer to fire several more times until the attacker died.

According to The Miami Herald, the victim was immediately rushed to the hospital where he remains alive and fighting for his life. He lost a significant portion of the skin on his face during the assault, and his attacker also apparently attempted to gouge out his eyes during the frenzy. Luckily, they were never removed from his head.

A toxicology report has already been scheduled on the deceased. When it returns, police should have a better idea of what may have prompted the attack, though it’s unlikely they’ll ever be able to pinpoint a solid motive. Sometimes there’s no accounting for bat shit crazy.

Pop Blend’s thoughts go out to the victim and his family, as well as all of the poor men and women who witnessed the savage and macabre incident. There are certain things you can’t ever unsee. This would be one of them.
