underwear and pantyhose, and multiple other scarves were tied around his crotch and lower half at the time of his death.

So I suppose this is normal?

Good gracious. Bad enough somebody would do that to themelf....but to croak that way in Pittsburgh is really a sad thing.

If it’s worth putting your life at risk perhaps we should give it a try.

And that she cauesd it.

Wait a minute. She's to blame for his perverted actions? Is that what you're saying? I read the article and there was nothing of the sort mentioned.

Weird. The engineering and technical types in broadcasting are usually the “normal” (or more correctly, near-normal) ones. A bit nerdy by stereotype, but as a group, much more level-headed than their “talent” counterparts.

Years ago, at my first duty assignment as an Air Force officer, we had an NCO die in base housing under similar circumstances. My friends in security forces determined he retreated into a closet, took off his clothes, put a trash bag over his head and cinched it around his neck with a belt. The plan (apparently) was to pleasure himself and finish the task before he ran out of oxygen. Unfortunately, he asphyxiated and died on the spot. His body was discovered by his young children.

I am thankful I was not the investigation officer for that incident. Hard to believe the children who made that awful discovery are now in their 30s. Hope they received the love, therapy and support they needed to overcome the lasting effects of that terrible event.

I wonder the results of the autopsy were ?

his actions constituted an “intentionally self-inflicted injury,” which is not covered under their policy because it is not an “unanticipated accident.”

reads funny. doe that mean it is an anticipated accident ?
