Captured US fugitive planned to overdose on drugs at Yellowstone, become bear food

WTF? This might sound a little demented but part of me wishes he would've went through with it. Hearing about his supposed plan doesn't mean he had any intention of actually doing it, but if we heard about it after he had actually did it, that would have been interesting.
Getting caught is IMO better, if he went through with his plan he would?ve died on his own terms, something he lost the privilege of doing the moment he killed those tourists. Now he either gets to rot in jail for a very long time, or he gets the privilege of being executed.
