Being a believer he believed Jesus when he said that if people ate his flesh and drank his blood that they would live forever. So later on he removed the corpse and chowed down. He died and as he was dying he realized that he was a dummy.
Those sayings in John were almost certainly an embellishment, but yes, who knows? Some congressman (just Google) went after a cup of water that Pope Francis had been drinking after his address to the US Congress. So, who knows??
