Police say they`re investigating a
19-year-old`s death as a homicide. That`s after sources told them
the man had smoked doctored marijuana.
Police say evidence indicates Steven Gamblin of Shannon Hills
was poisoned. They`re investigating a claim that he died after
smoking marijuana laced with rattlesnake venom. The sources told
police that Gamblin did not know the marijuana had been altered.
Gamblin died October 15th after being removed from life-support
at a Little Rock hospital. He was hospitalized September 18th after
he stopped breathing in his sleep.
Shannon Hills Police Chief John Brown says hospital staff
reported Gamblin`s symptoms were similar to those experienced by
someone with many snake bites. His body is undergoing tests at the
state Crime Lab.
