Video: An Aussie Mum Confronts The Man She Believes Is Responsible For Her Son's Death
Mother of Australian man who died after injecting his scrotum with silicone to appease his master's 'inflation fetish' confronts his bondage partner
‘What sort of person injects into their balls... what sort of person does that?’ she said, fighting back tears.
‘Someone who feels so badly about themselves, someone who was vulnerable, who just wanted your love at any cost … and the cost of his life.’
Jack Chapman, 28, who went by the name ‘Pup Tank’, died from ‘silicone embolism syndrome’ last month after he injected the liquid substance into his scrotum.
He was part of a 'cult' scene in Seattle, fronted by Mr Hafertepen who required his followers to have engorged scrotums alongside other physical attributes.
Ms Chapman said she didn’t find out about her son’s illness until the day after he died.
‘I didn’t know he was in hospital, I didn’t know he was in an induced coma, I never got to hold him, I never got to hug him. I never got to say goodybye,’ she said.
According to The Stranger, Mr Chapman was just one of many 'pups' linked with Mr Hafertepen in the 'polamorous, self-made family'.
Like other dominance and submissions groups, the pups all cater to the master's needs by performing submissive acts of an 'obedient puppy' to win his affection.
Widely known on Instagram as Noodles and Beef, Mr Hafertepen regularly posts photos of his pups, many of who are hairy, muscular men
Mr Hafertepen and his pups often share photos of themselves on Instagram or Tumblr, where they are shirtless, in jockstraps and harnesses, or naked.
In many of the images, the pups - including Mr Chapman - are seen with engorged testicles that are squashed into skimpy tight outfits.
It is also understood that three weeks prior to his death, Jack had allegedly changed his will, leaving his $200,000 inheritance to Mr Hafertepen.
