"About to die" is probably more accurate. Only one person was with him when he died, and she wasn't an "ST2." > He was very sick and had a lot of pain.

While I agree about that option if one is dying, just as additional information to feed into the mental hopper when trying to figure this weird Rama guy out is that, while he claimed to his students that he was seriously ill, the autopsy performed after he killed himself found NOTHING wrong with him. If one looks up the symptoms of long-term Valium addiction, all of the symptoms he exhibited during the last years of his life and claimed were the result of some serious illness are right there in print. I suspect that he merely thought he was dying because he wasn't able to admit -- to himself or his students -- that he was strung out. Me, I don't know why he took himself out. I wrote down some of my theories about it in a story (http://ramalila.net/RoadTripMind/rtm53.html), and the bottom line of that story (written now almost ten years ago) is the same bottom line I have now -- I don't know. What a long, strange trip it was. And I'm thank- ful for every minute of it, positive or negative. But strange it definitely was.
