I pray God will bless Victor Flanagan with the gift of eternal salvation. May this earthly hermit find his rightful place among His heavenly hosts.

Looks like victor will now find his place as the new idol of enviro-mental-ists everywhere.

I really don't know why some would think he would be "blessed", however. seems he was rather anti- human, self centered and caused grief to those who cared about him.

In the early 1990s, Mr Flanagan rejected possessions and began walking naked around Australia. “I want to spend the rest of my life as a nomad, not owning land or food or anything individually but collectively owning it and sharing it with everyone in the universe,” he said.
Flaky maybe, but "anti-human" or self centered? Link?

nothin wrong with separating yourself from society, maybe he was just tired of what the world became and decided to live on his own terms, if its anything its admirable.

sucks he died though. i imagine his end couldnt have been a good one.

I’m sure Victor’s dog wished he had cashed in and settled down.

I'm OK with that. Is there any chance we can convince them all to go live in a canoe in Papua New Guinea?

That photo shows me one thing: if I choose to move to Australia and become a naked nomad, I will lose my beer gut.

Now the home has been awarded to his sister, Violent Jenkins

If that's her real name and it's not a mispelling of Violet, she and the nomad had strange parents also.

"Now the home has been awarded to his sister, Violent Jenkins."

Mebbe she can rest easier now and the village will soon come to know the old, crabby woman living in the run down shanty at the edge of town as Notso...
