A self-help author who was convicted in the deaths of three people in a 2009 sweat lodge ceremony says he’s still anguished over the deaths.
James Arthur Ray appeared on CNN on Monday night just months after being released from a 20-month prison sentence for negligent homicide. In 2009, three people died and 15 others became ill following a sweat lodge ceremony in Arizona.
Ray told CNN’s Piers Morgan that he had spent his entire life helping people and expressed remorse over the deaths. “It’s just the antithesis of anything that I had ever stood for or wanted,” Ray said. “And so that anguish has continued every single day since that moment.”
Ray said that he will not do a sweat lodge again.
