Are there people turned on by it on both sides of the act? Absolutely. I have chatted with a few on the "snuff me" side. Their reasons varied, but they mostly centered around the idea of becoming nothing combined with the curious lack of a sense of self preservation.
That's an interesting insight. I recall a story that appeared in the Library last year, in which a slave was elaborately bound, mummified (including provision for tube feeding and evacuation as well as the usual self-propelled dildoes) and finally coffined and buried, with gravestone and all. The fact that she would supposedly be kept alive but absolutely helpless in her coffin for some unspecified but long time was presented as part of the thrill - rather like a snuff fan's version of the old joke about wanting to enjoy your own funeral.

I suppose that explains why some people combine it with cannibal fantasies. Using someone as meat is another way of taking objectification to the limit.
