Wilkins Subject Of Inquest

Compiled From Wire Services

Former NBA star Dominique Wilkins allegedly paid $100,000 for cocaine to a man whose body was later found burned beyond recognition, according to testimony during a coroner’s inquest.

A Bahamas police constable, testifying in a Nassau courtroom this week, said the man who allegedly received the money told him Wilkins was cheated and never received the drugs.

A coroner’s jury started hearing testimony Monday into the deaths of Philip Collie, 37, and a girlfriend, Bianca Evans, 26. Their burned bodies were found in Collie’s car Dec. 20, 1991. Testimony put Wilkins in the Bahamas for a basketball camp in July 1991.
