Found dead in Bangkok from an apparent suicide.

Sad :(

Yeah, my girlfriend is going to be bummed when she finds out, being a big fan of his.

If he was suffering from depression, he hid it well. I'm sorry to see him go in such sordid fashion.

Grasshopper is dead?

Dammit, this really is disheartening.

Kung Fu was one of my favorite shows as a child.

I wouldn't be suprised to find out he had cancer or something of the like. He didn't look very healthy to me in Kill Bill.

R.I.P. Grasshopper.

Just heard about this before logging on, and my first thought was he had received a terminal diagnosis or something. I cannot see this in any other terms than his wanting to maintain control, even to how he made his exit.

One of my favorites, even in the crappy stuff he occasionally found himself in to pay the bills. And, he and Barbara Hershey were a great couple back in the days of peace and love.

Be at Peace.

Apparently, the original articles said that he was found with the cord around his neck and "genitals", but most of them edited it to only mention the neck. Example of an original before edit: http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=5yz4uu&s=5

Not sure that dying of auto-erotic asphyxiation is an awful lot better, but maybe he at least didn't kill himself on purpose.

Yeah he died doing something kinky. They are not sure if it was self induced or if there was an oops with some hookers.

That is... gross.

Well, I suppose there are worse ways to go than having sex (however kinky) with a couple of prostitutes....

at his age, man I thought that sucker quit working or at least the drive...holly cow, most ambarrasing way to die for sure. Must of took notes from INXS lead singer.

I just don't understand that fascination. wow crazy :(

Yeah, first thing that came to mind here, too.

Well I've tied a cord around my balls all day and I'm still alive!

Just FYI, Rover, there's no safe way to practice autoerotic asphyxiation! But apparently there was enough interest in the topic that Slate felt compelled to print something on it:

The great thing about being an EMT/Paramedic/Medic is you learn all sorts of ways to not accidentally kill yourself because the embarrassment afterwords would be far worse than the actual dying part.

Nothing like walking in on a health and welfare call to find some dude with a bag over his head cock in hand and panties and matching stilettos...

Ele you promiced me you would not tell everyone and it was just that one time i swear!!!

This I know...but I don't breathe through my balls...and never will because they fell off about 15 minutes ago.

LMAO So Squish has gone with the ball leash option eh? I was going to suggest the nipple clampps or cattle prod in the butt!!!
