Mortal Kombat Finishing Move Ends in Real-Life Fatality

"Jarrod Wyatt also cut out his friend’s tongue and ripped off most of his face in a brutal assault that police said looked like a scene from a horror film. They found the 26 year old standing naked over his friend’s body with body parts, including an eyeball, strewn around the blood splattered room.

Wyatt told police he had drunk a cup of tea spiked with hallucinogenic mushrooms and became convinced his close friend Taylor Powell was possessed.

According to an autopsy Powell,21, bled to death after his heart was ripped out. The coroner said Powell had been alive when the organ was ripped out after his chest had been sliced open with a knife. Wyatt told the police he thrown the heart into a fire along with other organs that he had removed from the body."



.... never had shrooms do that to me

I highly doubt this story is true.

Anti-entheogenic propaganda.

Wow, that guy must have been strong and quick. I mean, they have to break the ribs with a tool in order to get to the heart in hospitals - and this guy just sliced him open and took it out?

Sounds kind of wrong to me..

u do know this is a blog site right ????

their main page has an article that read

"My 8 hr hell with Bigfoot"

red flags go up to ATS readers

The events really happened. But you're right, shrooms don't do that. PSYCHOSIS does that. Shrooms can trigger psychosis, as can all kinds of stimulants. Taking a bunch of caffeine pills would probably do the same thing.

This lunatic bastard is playing upon the West's ultra-conservative attitudes, trying to lessen his sentence. Most certainly an idea put forth by his lawyer. It wasn't designed to be propaganda, but the media is certainly making it into that. This case will probably be cited in the future to quell any pro-legalization efforts.


this is the link.

...Police had been called to the grisly scene after a third friend had witnessed a sudden mood change in Wyatt after they had all ingested wild mushroom tea.

Justin Davis told police he returned to the flat in Klamath, California, to find Wyatt naked and covered from head to toe in blood.

He noticed an eyeball lying in the middle of the floor and saw Powell's mutilated body...

Just a short while back,a man in Arcata California cut off his own testicles while under the influence of some substance,claimed to be '___'.

These locations are not so far apart.

Then there was this news from out of San Francisco...

Authorities were working Monday to determine whether tainted drugs played a role in the death of a 23-year-old Santa Clara mechanic and the hospitalization of seven others after a massive electronic music festival at the Cow Palace Saturday.

Anthony Mata was rushed to the hospital because of an apparent drug overdose and died Sunday night, said Daly City police Capt. Cory Roay. Of the seven other people, five were listed in critical condition Monday with symptoms including internal bleeding and kidney failure. The two remaining partygoers who became ill were in stable condition. They were among 16,500 people who packed the POP 2010 The Dream festival on Saturday night.

Because of the severity of the victims' reactions to the drug, authorities began to suspect that they may be tainted in some way. Police were awaiting results Monday from Poison Control Center and San Francisco Department of Health experts who tested the drugs for lethal impurities, police said.

I really fear for people who are tempted to experiment with these things. Seems like there's some awfully bad stuff going around.

and I want my credit for calling it a Mortal Combat move in the old thread!!!!!!!!!

I was first

FLAWLESS VICTORY!

Seriously, he did this because he thought his friend was possessed?
Man, excorcisms have gotten brutal.

Why is this being blamed on a game? A very old game. He is clearly very mentally disturbed, if it did indeed happen - just because its similar to a Mortal Kombat move, does not mean that's what he was doing.

I believe it is being blamed on a fungus not a game. I think the game reference is just that and nothing more. I do not recall reading in the original story this being related to a game. In looking at the link provided in the OP I see no blame on a game either.

They are though blaming the use of mushrooms, and maybe some mental instability. I certainly agree the offender has more than a few issues mentally.

Maybe reading the articles attached before commenting would help.

Its on a lot of sites, as mentioned above.

This turns out to be true. I would have bet on it being fake, but nope...

Drugs are bad things...

I bet the military would love to grow these magical mushrooms to give to our super-soldier death squads of the future.

Only downside- you have to send the super-soldiers in one-by-one so they don't rip each other apart.

It really is too bad that this guy did this. Of course, I don't blame just "the drugs" on this one. Mushrooms do not have a history of making people mutilate "friends".

I think a media that worships violence/drugs/sex as a God is also partly to blame.

Oh, and don't forget that the guy was a drug using psycho as well.

These were probably not your usual magic mushrooms, but some mistakenly picked as such. Few people know who to properly ID mushrooms and odds are they got something truly poisonous.
As for the party drugs they were probably tainted and sold by some gang looking to make a quick buck. We'll see much more of this as California spirals out of control methinks.

He could have sliced below the ribs about 5 inches below the sternum and plunged his hands in that way to get to the heart. The mental image has me grimacing but also if he was as wacked out so badly as has been reported then he could have gripped the ribs and yanked them apart, exposing the organs beneath?

That was kind of my point, so well done. Perhaps reading the thread title would help? Here, I'll give you a hand: 'Mortal Kombat finishing move ends in real-life fatality'. That's saying its because of the game. Perhaps it is badly worded, and the OP didn't mean it that way, but thats still what it says.

It is not blaming the game though. It is stating that a move used in the game took place in real life and happened to cause a real life fatality.

So technically the OP made no claim of blaming the game. Unless you have some strange form of reading comprehension that suggests anytime something is mentioned it is blamed. Please point out the blame of the game for this death and not just a reference.

Well its entirely beside the point, but if you want to go on. It is the FACT that it is referenced that is suggesting it. As I said, the OP may not have meant it that way, but that is how it reads. I imagine most people reading that would first think that it was something like a child trying out a mortal kombat move. Saying that something ENDS in something is saying that it is because of it - if its saying a move from the game ends in death, then it saying it is BECAUSE of the move in the game. Why reference it at all, if you are not saying that it is because of the move in the game?

If you genuinely cannot work out this simple concept, then perhaps you should get some fresh air and try again. Or better yet, don't. We're not adding anything to thread, and thanks to your sad challenging of me, I have made 2 more pointless posts. I will not be replying to any more; this is ridiculous If you read it some other way, fine. There are people making light of this horrendous killing, and you chose to challenge me? Alright

My question is WHERE DO I FIND THESE? this would be one hell of a trip

i believ that the amanita muscara mushroom was used by the vikings for going into a berserker rage. these mushrooms are available in the U.S. .... forgive my spelling, it was a long night and an early morning.

reply to post by ShadowArcher


You realize that very move has been used in numerous movies as well right?

Again, the OP was not blaming a game he was making a reference. You can go about puffing your chest as you wish but you did nothing more than put words into the OPs mouth. If your concept of reading works that way for you fine. But no one else from my reading has read into it as the OP blaming a game. Comprehension works differently for a few I guess.
