Yes the more I research the more I see, that connor murphy accidentially died while being too high on psychs. Although it seems like a big blow up before he died, he would inscenate his dead in a kind of great act if this was planned. 

It seems from what I read that he swam out and became exhausted.

[OBEler]

@Joseph Maynor If you watch all his stunts, you can see he must felt invincible:

Tragic.

Probably had some delusional idea(s) that killed him.

What kind of research are you doing?

[OBEler]

@Carl-Richard@Carl-Richard  I look videos he posted before, watched his plans etc. That kind of research.

@thierry Law enforcement is in the stone ages when it comes to dealing with mental health emergencies.

Yes, the outside world has always been dangerous antway, and psychedelics shouldn’t make you lose sight of that reality.

But yes, living with mental health issues today can be incredibly difficult. In many ways, you’re trapped in a very narrow space between your own struggles and the people or systems that are supposed to help you. And sometimes, it’s hard to tell which poses the greater risk.

Some lakes can be no joke either. Wide and vast. One time a buddy and I did a challenge where we would jump off the boat and swim to the other side of the lake and back even while other boats were coming.  It was no easy feat and I am a strong swimmer.

Yes.  Even swimming 1 mile in a lake requires a lot of effort and pacing for an ordinary person.

Some statistics:

“To swim 1 mile in a lake, you do not need to be an elite athlete, but you must be an intermediate-level swimmer with specific open-water skills. It is estimated that less than 1% of adults can swim a continuous mile without stopping, making it a serious endurance feat.”

“You must be able to swim 1,500 to 1,800 yards (roughly 60 to 72 lengths of a standard 25-yard pool) non-stop without touching the wall or resting.”

“Expect to be swimming continuously for 30 to 50 minutes. An average recreational fitness swimmer completes a pool mile in about 35 to 40 minutes.”

One thing to keep in mind that there is a different muscle development in swimming vs. body building.   Bodybuilders put on a lot of non functional muscle mass for show and in a swimming context creates extra weight that leads to early fatigue.  All the muscles of a practicing swimmer are dedicated to the task of swimming. 

One lesson learned here:  discipline matters.

Thanks for sharing.

I actually swam 1 mile once in a lake that is why I know how hard it is.  I had a boat following me for safety.  I had to pace myself and float a bit on occasion to rest.

That's impressive.

[PenguinPablo]

So sad that he went from this:

To whatever psychosis thing he had going on the last few years. 

Is it a bit "douchey" or whatever to take off your shirt for content. Sure but it is innocent and lighthearted. No bad intentions.

Rest in peace man.

May your soul get what it needs.

He put himself out there and became a spectacle for attractiveness to women, which is cool.

Saying they arent elite then saying only 1 person of people can do it is contradictive.

[Leo Gura]

Connor's downfall is tragic, but a silver lining is that he demonstrates the importance of being much more careful in spiritual work.

I hope everyone here learns that lesson from him.

Be more careful. Don't rationalize reckless spiritual behavior.

And if you have mental health issues, seek out professional help. Don't just try to wing it.

@Leo Gura 

It is difficult to get good mental health treatment. 

Most mental health practitioners are heavily paradigm locked.

Spirituality and western psychiatry do not mesh well at all. They are orthogonal.

Something more holistic is needed. 

I understand you must say these things from a liability perspective but things are not so clear cut.

You can go on Yelp.com right now and search for spiritual therapists and counselors. There are thousands of them.

Finding a spiritual therapist is not hard if you specifically search for it.

You can even find psychic therapists. I did. I went to a therapist who would read my life as we did therapy.
