I always felt Rich always very well knew he would die early. Otherwise, any half sane person would not put permanent plastics in their arms, and everywhere else, how would it look as you inevitably lost the bodysuit, due to various organ failures and old age. Even if you escaped having your arms amputated due to poor blood flow or necrosis. Whoever it was that posted here, as I recall, said before Rich passed, a doctor had told him years prior that his kidneys and heart were in very bad shape but he didn't go to the follow up visits. I'm still amazed how many to this day remember him fondly online. Even though he was a suicide project and not any type of guy to emulate. But I guess his personality was great.
