Description
The Hamilton County coroner is warning residents about a new drug that's been traced back to Marion County.
The Indiana Department of Health says medetomidine, otherwise known as "the zombie drug," is used by veterinarians to relax dogs.
"It's a poison," Hamilton County Coroner Jeff Jellison said.
According to Jellison, the drug got its nickname by how a person acts after using it.
