Kratum Suspected in Cowlitz County Death

The herbal supplement Kratom may be connected to the death of a woman in Cowlitz County.  On Sunday, packets of the legal substance were found around the woman's body along with a glass smoking pipe.  Chief Sheriff's Deputy Charlie Rosensweig says it's the same substance that a woman used on Monday when she was caught running in a street naked, swinging a hammer.  Toxicology tests are needed to determine the cause of death.  Kratom is a legal substance that when taken in small amounts is said to increase focus; but in large amounts can cause delusions.
