CHATTER AWAY: Overnight Open Thread

The Smoking Gun reports:

The deceased Florida Man whose partially eaten body was discovered in the mouth of an alligator actually died from a meth overdose before the 11-foot reptile discovered him in a canal in Polk County, according to an autopsy report. In a related development, voting has closed for the 2019 Floridian of the Year award.

In late-June, the body of Michael Ford, 45, was found floating in the water on a Fort Meade property owned by a mining company. Part of Ford’s body was in the mouth of a 449-pound alligator, who was subsequently trapped and killed by Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission agents.
