Michael Pender, 23, student, set his hope in Sai Baba's claimed
capacity to heal him by magic:

he was HIV infected.

He lived for some
time in the Puttaparthi ashram. Short before his death, he told
friends that he had been repeatedly sexually assaulted by the godman.

********Then is this is true, "the godman" should test HIV positive by
now???

Is there any evidence that he is HIV Positive?
****************

He was in a state of deep depression after these events and had
earlier tried to commit suicide in the ashram. On 12 January 1999, he
was found dead in a hostel for homeless in Highbury, London. Blood
tests indicated consumption of alcohol and painkillers.
