Anti-drug cop dies of an overdose Constable Barry Schneider, a 23-year veteran of the RCMP and a respected drug awareness co-ordinator for Vancouver Island, was found dead in his home with a lethal concentration of heroin and cocaine in his veins. “He was a cop. A drug cop. But there he was, in blue jeans and an open shirt, talking to a roomful of kids about marijuana, cocaine and heroin as if he were just an ordinary guy — who knew a lot about drugs.” (thanks romenesko)
