I am honestly surprised that article didn't end "He was cremated."

I don't want to be buried alive like him, but I wouldn't turn down a cozy hobbit hole at this point.

140 days of voluntarily solitary confinement? Dude had a mind of steel. Or completely broken. Who knows. Assuming he didn't somehow sneak out and back in, I wish scientists would have studied his brain and psyche.

It is remarkable. He must have been wired differently.
