In 1876, a man suffering from depression started eating his own flesh. At first, he started with his forearm — until he was detained and put in a straitjacket. But without access to his arms, he started eating his left foot. He wouldn't eat anything else and was absolutely uncooperative when he was put in protective custody.
When asked what his purpose was for eating himself, Guillarme said that God was "such a poor sculptor that he was trying to help rectify the shameful state of affairs." Upon being told that he would die if he kept this behaviour up, his reply was that he would continue eating himself until only his teeth were left. Finally, on July 4, Mr de Nittis died of shock at the age of 32.
His final act was self-castration — by his own teeth.

maybe he had the urge to eat human flesh but was moral enough to only eat his own.
Hungry, why wait?

How the hell did he reach?
