“Bodē’s death was due to autoerotic asphyxiation, or perhaps the use of asphyxia as a meditation aid: his last words (to his son) were, ”Mark, I’ve seen God four times, and I’m going to see him again soon. That’s No. 1 to me, and you’re No. 2.“”—uh ok, that’s the end of researching this topic. i am fucked up for lyfe now
