That something tragic had occurred became known to his many friends the following morning, when on Nov. 20, 2017, Chasey posted a troubling Facebook message: “I’ve just experienced a traumatic loss that necessitates my having to withdraw from the madding crowd and grieve for a while,” he wrote. “I’ll be back, I promise you, but for now I must tend to myself and a few others as well.”
The post received 130 notices of support and condolence. No one questioned what happened, or to whom. Certainly none of the messages expressed even an inkling that the traumatic loss in question occurred as the result of a sex ritual gone horribly awry — one in which Chasey oversaw the mummification of a partner in plastic wrap, who then proceeded to expire in front of him.
