Coroner Probing Possible Bath Salt Deaths


The regional coroner says it could take a couple of months before he knows if two recent deaths in the city are directly connected to a new drug called bath salts.  Dr. Michael Wilson says the challenge is to find what role, if any, the new drug played in the deaths and if the bath salts were a direct cause or a contributing factor to the deaths.  Wilson says while research on the drug is new,  it's clear that the drug is not safe.
