The 58-year-old man was wearing only underwear and a crown of thorns, his hands and feet nailed to the cross, a stab wound on his abdomen and nylon strings tied around his neck when he was found May 1 - one week after Easter - in an abandoned stone quarry in the country's south.

Whoever did this to him had a sick and twisted mind. The culprit is in the whole story in the spoiler.

+ Show Spoiler +
A South Korean taxi driver found dead with his body nailed to a cross in an apparent re-creation of the crucifixion of Jesus Christ probably carried out the ordeal on his own as a suicide, police have said.

The 58-year-old man was wearing only underwear and a crown of thorns, his hands and feet nailed to the cross, a stab wound on his abdomen and nylon strings tied around his neck when he was found May 1 - one week after Easter - in an abandoned stone quarry in the country's south.

After days of investigation, police said they believe the man, surnamed Kim, committed suicide without any assistance.

Kim is believed to have nailed his feet to the cross, tied his neck to it and stabbed himself in the side. He is then believed to have drilled holes in his hands and slipped them over nails on the cross, Gyeongbuk Provincial Police Agency officers said, describing the death under condition of anonymity because they weren't authorized to speak to the press.

Officials re-enacted some elements of the crucifixion and concluded that an adult male could perform the act on his own, the agency said.

The man was a devout Christian, and police speculated that his "deep religious faith" may have helped him endure "immense pain."

Police said they found the man's notes planning the crucifixion. Before his apparent suicide, Kim closed his bank account and canceled his mobile phone contract in apparent preparation to end his life, police said.

An autopsy on his body showed the man died of bleeding from the stab wound and suffocation, police said. Officers reached by The Associated Press said they had no information on when exactly the man put himself on the cross and how long he might have been there before dying.

Popular representations of the death of Jesus Christ depict him crucified between the crosses of two thieves, wearing a crown of thorns, a white cloth over his loins, with a wound on his side from a Roman soldier's spear.

My opinions?

+ Show Spoiler +
It's not hard to imagine that people can feel inspired into committing such acts given how much Churches love to glorify the death of Jesus Christ. This is evident even in the pop songs that they sing every Sunday - "Jesus you are the lover of my life, you died for me and your blood washes me clean" - etc. Regardless of whether or not this man is considered to be in the 'extreme' minority - most Christians (bar universalists) will not deny that this is the sort of suffering one will go through in the afterlife if they refuse to accept that Jesus was tortured for their sins.

Probably just a severe case of schizophrenia. This is the source of the article and note that the police officer who spoke to the press spoke under anonymity so it's unlikely the details would be released in order to prevent copycat suicides:

That is really hardcore if it is a suicide and he did it all unassisted. I suppose if the cross wasn't vertical and was just on the ground it would make sense. If it was vertical I can't imagine a way he could bolt his feet to it and then do the rest of the operation on his own.

If it was a vertical cross, and assisted suicide is illegal there, then they've got some hunting to do.

Religion: promoting voluntary insanity since, forever, really.

Seriously, would like a link to the article. Seems ridiculous, you have to be so mentally gone to do something like this to yourself.
