These people knew full well what they were doing. If anyone was stupid here, its the ones paying 10 grand to sit in a hot hut. They are adults, quit making it someone elses fault.......

Every single one of them, including the victims are/were complete whack jobs.

I hope they are looking into what they burn in those sweat lodges. Besides the wood, they burn herbs, such as sage, and who knows what else? I wonder if they didn't get something extra in there they hadn't planned on. Toxicology reports should be forth coming, and hopefully there will be some answers. This is just tragic, and should never have happened, and shouldn't happen again. I'd dare to say there has to be other ways to have a spiritual experience without sitting on a dirt floor in a make shift sweat lodge covered in plastic tarps and whatever else was laying around. Hopefully these three lost lives, will not have been lost in vain. Criminal charges need to be brought up. Those folks trusted this man and his assistants, as well as the property owners. To their families my deepest condolences for your tremendous losses. May your souls Rest In Peace.

Good, this victim's survivors are sueing, they should continue to press for more arrests, James Ray had accomplices involved. Including Angel Valley Retreat for their role in not safe guarding paid participants who registered for his sweat lodge. Without a shadow of doubt, James Ray has proven to be a dangerous cult leader who is evading the due processes of law, the FBI needs in on this, there are plenty of discoveries and expose's to be had, possibly global in scope. This gutless wonder ran off to Camino Del Mar Resort in California, to hide from the Yavapai Sheriff, and facilitate yet another profitable seminar of his - "The Harmony of Money." He was not praying or meditating, as per his statement thru the owners of the Angel Valley Retreat. A third victim died today as a result of his botched sweat lodge atrocity, held in a confined space, over crowded, while toxic fumes filled the air, He performed it for two hours with no knowledge of method, rules, nor a proper permit that would have put a stop on his sweat lodge. This man is a deadly combination of the late cult king - Jim Jones. Ray's followers are a strange mixture, not all of them seek spiritual awareness, many are owners of spirit seeking services, liken to "factories" pumping out con artists and fruadulent "experts" feeding off unsuspecting targets around the world. It took 3 deaths to prove how fraudulent Ray's operation is, and how wide spread, he was aided knowingly by Angel Valley Retreat - "ignorance of the law is no excuse!" and was given time to escape.
