Killed During Exorcism

[DrPhil]

Technically, it would have to be a mental condition that completely removes the person from reality and places the person in alternate realities, lower self-control, and hallucinations.

But, the mental condition would technically not be what "lead to" since most people with (even undiagnosed) mental health conditions do not go around killing people.

As for stabbing during exorcisms, that may be the idea is that the body will come back to its normal state once the demon is removed. It is like an alternate state similar to when the girl in The Exorcist stabbed herself and did all sorts of violent things but her body was almost normal once the demon was removed.

A man claims he was going to exorcise his son:

Drugs will definitely make you do some awesome things.

Remember that man who chewed off another man's face on a bridge? They assumed he was on bath salts but if memory serves me correctly it turned out he wasn't. I don't recall whether he was diagnosed with a mental condition. For some reason I thought of that case. We shall see what is up with these exorcisors.

I do remember that. The story just fell of the radar. It was part of the "Bath Salts will start the Zombie Apocalypse" hysteria then once they figured out it wasn't bath salts...nothing.
