Was the man a criminal who cut off his fingers and ear to disguise himself as a leper to escape punishment?

Edit: 1111 is a cool number.

Well, during a possible torturing session, did they do something 'less than honorable' to him, and he felt that it was such a dishonorment that he killed himself?
