RAIPUR, India (Reuters) - A Hindu priest in Chhattisgarh killed himself with the promise he would come back to life after two days, police said on Monday.
Manoj Baghel, described as an intensely religious man, poisoned himself in front of a small crowd on Saturday at a temple in Raigarh in Chhattisgarh, police said.
He was taken to hospital, and died soon after.
Police have registered a case of suicide, but have been unable to take the 25-year-old's body for an autopsy because supporters have insisted on returning the body to the temple and waiting to see what happens.
Police expect the crowds will give up their vigil by Monday evening.

Well, kudos to him for going through with it, I suppose. That doesn't make him any less deluded, though.

Am I being paranoid or does anyone else get the sense that there will be a small rash of kidnappings of new born babies right around the time he's supposed to come back?

Why? The wording suggests that it's the corpse that'll return to life, not that he'll be reincarnated into a baby that's already been developing for nine months.

Well, it said he'd come back to life, I just made the leap from that to reincarnation since that's a Hindu belief as I recall.

There is a fine line between one who is willing to die for his beliefs, and one who is willing to kill for them. I don't trust any man who says he is not afraid of death. Especially if he means it.

Seeing as hes been dead since satudray and its now wednesday, hes already missed it. Nobody seems to be too keen to follow and ask him what the holdup is though

Hrm, I wonder if the body was cremated by lowering it into a hole full of lava, after pulling the still-beating heart out of its chest.

There is a slight difference between someone who does not fear death, and one who is entirely willing to throw away his life at the toss of a hat, though.

No there isn't. To have zero fear of death is to be either ignorant of or apathetic toward the idea.
