Man dies after eating cocaine that had been hidden in his brother's backside

A South Carolina man's brother died after police said he was forced to eat cocaine hidden in his brother's backside.

Both brothers were taken into custody on allegations they had drugs in their car. But police said there were additional drugs hidden in 23-year-old Deangelo Mitchell's backside.

Officers said Deangelo Mitchell convinced his brother, 20-year-old Wayne Mitchell, to swallow the ounce of cocaine to hide the evidence. He died soon afterwards.

"It's sickening," North Charleston Police Chief Jon Zumalt said. "I got upset when I saw the thing. I was pretty shocked on it." Deangelo Mitchell already bonded out of jail on the drug charge, but now police are looking for him again on charges of involuntary manslaughter.

Involuntary manslaughter? Does that even make sense? Manslaughter is surely where you kill a person without intent to kill them. As such all manslaughter is involuntary. Were it voluntary it would be murder.
