Standing in the middle of the fields at the Murray Hill Playground, 19-year-old Merissa Linsinbigler recalls coming here with her big brother. "We used to play soccer here football here. We would come out here. We'd play ball. One time we had a little picnic over here."

Daniel's life wasn't always easy and like a lot of teenagers, he made mistakes. On March 2 of last year, Daniel apparently smoked the popular, and once legal, "spice."

"He made a choice to use synthetic marijuana," says his mom, Valerie Linsinbigler, "and it landed him in jail."

Apparently suffering some kind of psychotic break, Daniel entered two apartments at the Stay Suites inn in Orange Park. Without permission -- or any clothes – police say he charged into two apartments, yelling Bible scriptures and proclaiming he was Jesus.

He didn't touch anybody, or break anything. But the misdemeanor landed him in the Clay County jail. Where 10 days later, pepper sprayed and strapped into a restraint chair, he asphyxiated and died.

"I think my son died a heinous death," says his father, also Daniel Linsinbigler. "I can only think of the last two minutes of his life and what must have

been going though his mind, which eats me the most: 'I'm dying I'm dying. I'm going to die now. I'm never going to see my sister or my mother or my father again and this is it.'"

No, he died thinking he was Jesus.

I guess the full body restraint chair is metaphorically fairly close to a wooden cross. Holy crap...he was Jesus.

Don't worry.

Since he was Jesus, he'll be back and then we'll have two Easters.

I guess we should try to buy that restraint chair before the Catholics get all relic crazy and jack up the price. I guess it's going to be the Chair and Straps of Clay County instead of the Shrowd of Turin. And of course we can't forget the Pepper Spray Can of Destiny or the Standard Issue Inmate Clothing of the Second Holy Ghost. Can you imagine how much money could be made selling the faithful Holy Paint Chips from the Cell of the Second Son of God? Then we could all pitch in and buy the Clay County Jail as a shrine and charge for tours. The Nuns would wear specially designed habits to look like inmate clothing. Instead of the Holy Cross we could use the Holy Restrain Chair and this new Christ would wear a mesh spit hood instead of a crown of thornes. The Clay County Sheriff's Deputies would be like modern day Roman soldiers. I could go on all day with this silliness.

You guys crack me up.

I grew up celebrating 2 Easters. I'm half Russian, so we did both. (and 2x Christmas!)
It was kinda like the opposite of being a Jehovah's Witness.
