An escaped convict wanted to end his life in a less-than-usual way: by overdosing on heroin in Yellowstone National Park and then letting bears eat him.

Bears “eat about anything,” said a Yellowstone rep, but called the plan improbable. "A bear would rather get an easy meal than a difficult meal, but human bear encounters are very infrequent."

Province believed his change of heart about the suicide was “divine intervention,” said the detective. Click for more about Province's time on the lam.
