North Pole (Associated Press)-

The world's most famous sentient snowman, Frosty, was found dead due to a drug overdose this morning. His death brings to close a long, tragic battle with addiction that has ruled Frosty's life for the better part of three decades.

Frosty was born in 1950, the result of a magician's magical hat being placed on his head by a gang of children. He became the subject of the song "Frosty the Snowman", written by Jack Nelson and Steve Rollins in 1950 as a follow-up to "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer." The title was used for a children's book, illustrated by Corinne Malvern and published in 1950 by Golden Books.

In 1954, Frosty starred in a three-minute animated short movie that appeared regularly on WGN-TV. It went on to become a popular children's television cartoon by Rankin & Bass in 1969. Soon, he was the most famous snowman ever known. Over the years, he has made numerous appearances in stage, screen and television. In addition to his bio film, he also starred in Frosty's Winter Wonderland (1976), Rudolph and Frosty's Christmas in July (1979), Frosty Returns (1992) and The Legend of Frosty the Snowman (2005).

After his meteoric rise to fame, he soon found himself fighting an intense addiction to cocaine and other illegal substances. In 1995, he was arrested for trying to buy the designer drug "ice" from an undercover officer. In early December of 2001, he was again incarcerated when police raided a party he was attending at Robert Downey Jr's house in Los Angeles. He was once again arrested earlier this week when he was spotted snorting cocaine off an elf's breasts in popular North Pole night spot The Polar Bear Club.

A frantic call from Frosty's ex-wife, Crystal, resulted in police being dispatched to the residence. According to the first officer on the scene, TJ Hooker, Frosty's ex was disturbed when she came to the home to pick up her child support check, and found Frosty acting erratically. "Basically, he was pulling bits of himself off, making them into snowballs and throwing them at passing cars", said Hooker, "this alarmed her so much she called 911". By the time police arrived, Frosty was dead. "As near as we can tell, he snorted so much coke that it short-circuited the magic in that old hat of his" said Chief Medical Examiner, Dr. Quincy, after performing his autopsy. "By the time we arrived on the scene, there was nothing but a puddle", stated investigating detective Lt. Columbo, "used to be, a cold wind would restore him, but now that ain't happening."

T.J. Hooker???

Why did Frosty have a broom? He had that nice top hat and all the children could find was a broom? How about a briefcase? Or a freakin coat? In the south he would've had a gun.

The broom handle was hollowed out and filled with coke.
