Arrested: Jarrod Wyatt was allegedly found standing naked over his dead friend's body in a room bathed in blood

A U.S. cage fighter ripped out the heart of his training partner while he was still alive after becoming convinced he was possessed by the devil, it was alleged today.

Jarrod Wyatt also cut out Taylor Powell's tongue and ripped off most of his face in a brutal assault that police said looked like a scene from a horror film, officers said.

They claim they found the 26-year-old standing naked over his friend's body with parts, including an eyeball, strewn around the blood splattered room in Klamath, California.

Wyatt allegedly told police he had drunk a cup of tea spiked with hallucinogenic mushrooms and became convinced 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, it was claimed.

He allegedly told investigators he cooked the body parts because he was fearful Powell was still alive and he ‘needed to stop the Devil’.

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 to find Wyatt naked and covered from head to toe in blood.

1. Newsflash: people engaged in cage-fighting "sports" might be slightly unbalanced.

In further news, apparently half the planet is currently being bathed in radiation from a source some 93 million miles away.

15. Oh god. That's the first thing I thought of, too. (nt)

4. You know why stuff like this scares me so much?

Because it can happen to any of us.

You can live your life well, do everything you are supposed to...and then all of a sudden, someone decides that you are the devil and rips your organs out.

[Amerigo Vespucci]

6. That's how I felt when I worked at Cisco Systems

It was a daily, never-ending battle to go get your coffee, check your email, pick up your voice messages, and attend useless dead-end meeting after useless dead-end meeting without having your organs ripped out by the "rising star" in the cubicle next to you. Ambition is highly praised at Cisco, but the skills, talent and ability of the individual rarely come into question. The single most highly-prized quality of any "ladder climber" is his / her willingness to conform and "be molded" by management. These are the Village Has Eyes, Lord of the Flies employees, who roam the hallways looking for organs to rip out.

As you can tell, I'm not one of those people who believes Cisco belongs on the annual "100 Best Places To Work" lists.

16. You just gave me a whole new perspective on networking.

I'm studying for my CCNA.

32. "coroner said he died of blood loss"

Do you have to go to school to be a coroner?

[Ikonoklast]

41. Nope, just get yourself elected.

I have breakfast with our county coroner every Saturday morning when I'm in town, along with a bunch of other guys.

Nice guy, but the only reason he's coroner is no one else puts their name up for the voters.

[hobbit709]

5. Mushrooms hell. sounds more like too much steroids.

[Dr Morbius]

7. There you go. We can predict some idiots will claim it was the mushrooms.

As though hallucinogenic mushrooms incite someone to violence, when there's no correlation. The guy's a cage fighter; violence is his life. A bad idea to give such a person hallucinogens? no doubt! But at most no more than one causal factor among several.

I feel sorry for the guy who was brutally and savagely murdered here. And his family. Imagine how that goes down!

[adamuu]

8. To be fair, the article certainly presents the mushrooms as a supposedly relevant fact

take it easy on the name-calling.

[bettyellen]

11. you summed it up "violence was his life"

[Quantess]

25. I don't believe he was mentally stable, with or without a hallucinogen.

PCP, maybe would cause an extremely violent psychotic reaction, but mushrooms aren't the same as PCP. A normally well-adjusted, mentally healthy person just would not act that way under the influence of psilocybin.

[jobycom]

39. Well, since everything was going fine until that final causal factor, I'd say

that only an idiot would try to claim it wasn't the cause.

My non-violent brother tried to kill me after smoking a joint. Only a joint, and one others shared with him without the same reaction. When you fuck with mind-fucking drugs, sometimes they fuck you in ways you can't predict, no matter how omniscient or intellectually superior you know yourself to be.

[Dr Morbius]

44. My ominiscience prompted me to write it was one causal factor among several.

But I'm sure you saw that.

[donco6]

21. Jeez. All I saw was the walls breathing and pretty colors.

Dude.

[flvegan]

38. Highly unlikely. n/t

9. sounds like a fucked up RELIGIOUS background to me

sure, it was the mushrooms, yeah that's it
:wtf:

I thought this was going to be an Onion parody, how horrific.

13. The Onion was my first thought as well... n/t

14. What the what the what the what the what the FUCK??

That's some sick horror movie shit man.

[MindPilot]

17. It amazes me.

It amazes me that a competition wherein the object is to beat your opponent into submission or unconsciousness is even considered sport and not attempted murder. But when you factor Christianity into it like these guys http://www.cmmaa.com/ the result is just the kind of crazy we see here.

29. Fuck, I think I'd drop dead right then and there.

35. What you said. I'm speechless. nt

[MindPilot]

23. That haircut alone is enough to justify an insanity defense. n/t

[Quantess]

37. Hah! Good point.

[jberryhill]

24. So... Was the guy demon possessed or not?

Poor followup by the reporter
