Arizona fugitive planned suicide by bear
By FELICIA FONSECA
Associated Press
Thu Jan 27
FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. – A convicted killer who escaped from an Arizona prison says his plan was to overdose on heroin at Yellowstone National Park and let bears eat him. Tracy Province told a sheriff's detective about his plan after he was captured in August and returned to Arizona.
According to a Mohave County sheriff's report, Province planned to shoot a gram of heroin and become bear food. He says he didn't follow through because of divine intervention and because Yellowstone was too cold.
Province told authorities he then tried to hitchhike to Indiana to see his family. He was captured Aug. 9 in Wyoming, 10 days after he and two others escaped from a minimum-security prison near Kingman, Ariz.

Mauled by bears, and O.D.ing on heroin sure, but not today, it's chilly.

He didn't do it because it was too cold that day.
That kind of ruins the amazement of this story.

That kind of makes it better. "I totally want to die but come on, let's let it get a little warmer out, okay?"

His idea to overdose on heroin first was actually a pretty smart move. Being eaten by those animals while fully awake and aware would've been unbearable.

What if the bear just humps you instead?

Suicide by Bear would be a good name for a band.

Would the bear have gotten high off of the heroin if it ate the man? I wonder what damage he'd do then.
