MIAMI - Burglars snorted the cremated remains of a man and two dogs in the mistaken belief that they had stolen illegal drugs, Florida sheriff’s deputies said Wednesday.
The ashes were taken from a woman’s home in the central Florida town of Silver Springs Shores on Dec. 15. The thieves took an urn containing the ashes of her father and another container with the ashes of her two Great Danes, along with electronic equipment and jewelry, the Marion County Sheriff’s Office said.
Investigators learned what happened to the ashes after they arrested five teens in connection with another burglary attempt at a nearby home last week.
“The suspects mistook the ashes for either cocaine or heroin. It was soon discovered that the suspects snorted some of the ashes believing they were snorting cocaine,” the sheriff’s report said.
Once they realized their error, the suspects discussed returning the remaining ashes but threw them in a lake instead because they thought their fingerprints were on the containers, sheriff’s spokesman Judge Cochran said.
Police divers were trying to recover the ashes. The suspects were jailed on numerous burglary and other charges.

Too bad they didn't try to snort up battery acid: No one would miss them.

If it was in a container, it would float. Unless the container was heavy, like concrete

"...snorted the cremated remains of a man and two dogs in the mistaken belief that they had stolen illegal drugs."
That's a strange way to say it; makes it sound like the man and dogs had stolen drugs, or the theives were ingesting the ashes because they believed the dead people's bodies had contained drugs.
"...snorted the cremated remains of a man and two dogs in the mistaken belief because they believed the urns contained drugs instead of ashes."
Fixed.

Okay, I gave it a day and tried, but cannot think of any substantial reasons to be prejudiced against use of the word "because" in English.
Perhaps you can enlighten us as to how the word only serves idiots and little kids?
