Depressed NZ man cuts off finger, cooks & eats it

News Article

A DEPRESSED New Zealander cut off a finger, cooked it with vegetables and then ate it in a rare case of self-cannibalism, according to a report in the Australasian Psychiatry publication.

The 28-year-old man had not taken drugs or alcohol at the time, the report authors, forensic psychiatrist Erik Monasterio and clinical psychologist Craig Prince, said. It was one of only eight documented cases of self-cannibalism recorded in the world, Dr Monasterio and Dr Prince said in their report which was published online on Saturday.






Oh..................this is ...........!!!!!!

Purists would eat it minus the veggies and no seasoning.

Just sayin'

That's possibly the worst spot to choose to eat. He was ripped off.

Brings a whole new meaning to the phrase finger food.

WARNING! With Bones.

do you mind!lol
not had me tea yet no but joking apart,what state of mind must he have been in to do that,farout for sure

is there psychiatric help for being an idiot

That dude... has issues.


It takes one seriously messed up person to chop a finger off and eat it, wouldn't you say?

I think it's awesome that the guy took the care to add some veggies and spices.

It shows that he was aware of what he was doing, and didn't just have a momentary lapse of reasoning, biting his finger off and swallowing.

I wonder how his brain lights up for the MRI's?

I had always heard depression kills the appetite.

Apparently not this guy's.

Good choice, the underside bit of the finger, the fatty bits are the tastiest of all...pretty sure I read that somwhere?

Actually the butt and thigh would be the best to eat.

ok....I have to say it....That guy is full of himself!!!

now I feel like a jerk....poor crazy guy.

Does it make you feel better about yourselves to crack jokes on the guy?

Grow up.

But it has to be cooked well in order for it to be crispy. Otherwise you might have problems when it comes to chewing off the pulp of the finger.
