As far as the Cotard delusion, It's beyond unnerving and the obsessive behaviors that can come with it. Interviewing someone with the delusion will leave you doubting your own sanity. I'm going to describe one such case and caution you to Google at your own risk due to gore and graphic violence.

"Dead," the original singer from the black metal band Mayhem, suffered from Cotard's delusion after a bullying incident at age 11, which left him with a ruptured spleen and, by the 1980 clinical definition, rendered him clinically dead (lack of heartbeat) for several minutes. This left him with severe psychological problems including Cotard's delusion; he became obsessed with death an pioneered "corpse paint, the black and white face makeup associated with extreme metal. He also shocked audiences with acts of self-mutilation.

In 1991, at the age of 22, Dead sadly succumbed to whatever of his multiple mental illnesses and (remember that CW for graphic violence, here it comes) used a shard of broken glass to slit his wrists and throat, and finished himself off with a shotgun blast to his forehead.

He left behind a simple apology to his bandmates, who he knew would find him, stating simply (translated) "Please excuse all of the blood."

The band used a photo of the suicide scene as the cover artwork of their next album, Dawn of the Black Hearts. Again, you will see graphic violence if you Google it; if not from Dead's suicide, from the time Euronymous, their next lead singer, was confronted by their bassist Varg Vikernes, and stabbed 37 time in self defense.To Varg's credit, he's hilarious by virtue of living a life that seems so unbelievable like the time French police arrested him for possession of firearms over his airsoft guns or the time he was on weekend release from prison after stabbing euronymous in self defense 37 times and took the opportunity to raid an apparently unguarded national guar depot and "borrow'' several military uniforms, automatic rifles with quite a bit of ammunition, and what I can only find described as "large amounts of high explosives with detonators."

I just gotta clear up that Mayhem never used Deads suicide photo as an album cover. Dawn of the Black Hearts is a bootleg record released by a mexican contact of Euronymous, which recieved a picture.

Hey, I can kinda comment on this! I had a breakdown that presented similarly enough to Cotard that it�s easier to just explain it that way, and I�m beyond lucky that it�s under control right now and I�ve only had one recurrence since a pretty serious inpatient stay.

It�s an absolute nightmare. I was fully convinced that I was dead, but that I had to never admit it because then the curtains would draw back and I would be tortured in the hell I�d slid into. Lost most of my sense of taste, spent my time half-sleeping because real rest would give them a chance to begin the real tortures, and got a horrible hypersensitivity to temperature. Truly bizarre stuff that seemed perfectly rational to me - like figuring out which clothes I�d died in and wearing them would disguise me and that cleaning them would remove the last vestiges of my soul and finalize my condemnation to hell - made it impossible to function. It took a lot to get me to even accept that my worldview was distorted, because there�s just a great certainty that I�d figured it out and denying it would be like claiming the sky was green.

It was the worst loving time of my life, and I�m glad I got help, because it�s still a long-rear end process to manage it and I never want it to happen again, but I always worry that I�ll end up hitting a trigger and sliding into a delusional state again. Which, of course, leads to hyper-vigilance about everything and having this weird sword of Damocles hanging over my head.

Coupled drowned in toolbox 'pleaded for their lives', trial of accused murderer hears

Two people who were bound and locked in a toolbox which was then dumped into a lagoon south of Brisbane could be heard "calling out and pleading for their lives" as they were submerged, a court has heard.

On the first day of his Supreme Court trial, Tuhirangi-Thomas Tahiata pleaded not guilty to the murder of Iuliana Triscaru and Cory Breton in January 2016.

Their bodies were found in a large toolbox that had been submerged in a lagoon in Kingston, south of Brisbane.

The court heard Mr Tahiata was one of several people involved in their deaths.

In his opening statement, Prosecutor David Meredith told the Supreme Court Mr Breton and Ms Triscaru were lured to a unit in Kingston, where they were bound with tape and later put into a toolbox.

The Crown alleges after some hours, they and the toolbox were loaded onto a ute and driven to a lagoon by Mr Tahiata and another man.

The court heard in an interview with police Mr Tahiata said the two victims were still "calling out and pleading for their lives" after the toolbox was placed in the water.

The Crown Prosecutor said Mr Tahiata admitted his involvement and took police to the lagoon to show them where the toolbox was dumped.

"At that stage when he made those confessions he was claiming that he did it on his own," Mr Meredith told the court.

"He later gave a different version which the prosecution says is the true version which was that other people were involved."

The court heard Mr Tahiata told investigators it was another man who put the toolbox into the water.

"If these facts are true and the accused and others say that they are then this is a breathtakingly evil act," Mr Meredith told the court.

The court was told Mr Breton and Ms Triscaru were both drug dealers.

Mr Tahiata's defence is yet to make its opening address.

The trial is expected to run for up to three weeks.

Being alive and locked in a box only to be dumped to drown is way up there in ways I don't want to go.

Did someone in this thread recommend the Red Handed Podcast? Because I remember avoiding it because the name and photo gave me My Favorite Murder/Sword and Scale vibes so I think I'd only try it out if someone in this thread recommended it. If so, thank you and boy am I happy that I listened to them. Small bit of nice banter, very left leaning views, respectful of victims, critical of police and very informative. They're not jokey jokey like Last Podcast but it feels very much like being in a room with friends. And I've yet to hear a podcast that gives as good of an inside into UK cases. And it really helps to have a brown English woman on it too.
The reading of patreon names is still unlistenable to me even if it makes me kind if happy that a brown woman gets to butcher super white names.

Generation Why recently did an episode on Anthony Graves.

Here is a brief intro. A family (including kids) are brutally murdered and their house is burnt down. The police have a suspect and their guy is pretty much guilty as gently caress. Only problem is that the police are convinced he had an accomplice. They are absolutely certain of it in fact, and they grill him for a name. He gives them one. I will leave it there. Feel free to read the rest in this Texas Monthly article which covers all the details in their usual excellent way.
