S. Korean man found crucified, wearing crown of thorns
Police are investigating whether it was murder or suicide

The body of a man with his hands and feet nailed to a wooden cross and a crown of thorns on his head has been found in an abandoned stone quarry, South Korean police said Wednesday.

A man wearing only underwear, with a wound on the side of his torso and nylon strings tied around his neck, arms and stomach, was found crucified Sunday in Mungyong, about 115 miles southeast of Seoul, said Chung Ji-chun, chief of the violent crime section at Gyeongbuk Provincial Police Agency.

Two smaller crosses were erected on each side of the cross he was nailed to, Chung said.

Police also found nails, a hammer, an electric drill, pieces of wood and instructions on how to build crosses inside a tent near the scene, Chung said.

Insanity reigns...I can't decide which is worse: if it were murder or if it were suicide.

2. I'd say if both hands were nailed to a crucifix, there are pretty high odds that he didn't act alone
Just sayin' is all.

4. Maybe it was done by mercenary missionaries trying to show him "The Way"?
The freepers will say he was simply a persecuted Christian, though

7. It would truly be a miracle if he managed to nail himself the cross. Beatification is in his future.
