What is the real story of intoxicated bear?
In 1985, Andrew C. Thornton III, a former officer and convicted trafficker, dropped one of the many bags of drugs he was carrying on his aircraft. The reason? He didn’t think the plane could support that much weight. That simple act caused a bear to find the bag, and ingested its entire contents.
Days later, members of the police found the body of the bear in the forests of Georgia, United States. Although the causes of his death were not known at first, little by little the investigation revealed the tragic truth. Some sources say that the bear consumed 30 kilos of cocaine, while others affirm that it was “only” 20.
Given the peculiarity of the event, the bear was nicknamed by some media as EscoBear, this in reference to the Colombian drug trafficker Pablo Escobar. As if it were divine justice, in September of that same year, Thornton III died after jumping from his plane: his parachute never opened.
When it premieres intoxicated bear?
For now there is no confirmed release date for Mexico, but it will hit theaters in the United States on February 24, 2023.

Juan Jose Cruz I am one of those who always defended Robert Pattinson as Batman and can see the same movie in the theater up to 7 times. My guilty pleasure? Low budget horror movie.
