I dont think anyone knows the timeline. They found the bear after it ODd. No one was there.

You don't have to be there at the time. The LD50 of cocaine (the amount necessary to be a lethal dose for 50% of test subjects) is 96mg per kg of bodyweight. The bear weighed 79kg and was found to have eaten 34kg of cocaine.
