A COMEDIAN died after accidentally overdosing on laughing gas while watching computer porn, an inquest heard. Mark Cassidy, 42, lost consciousness as he inhaled the nitrous oxide from a canister.

I’ve seen people lose consciousness and hit the floor while sucking whip cream machines back in the old days.
happens pretty easy.
At first you think it’s a joke because it looks comical and by the time you realize it’s not a joke the person is usually getting up wondering wtf.

While I wish to send sincere condolences to his family, I find it a good opportunity for this to be a lesson to anyone who would choose to do this.

I consider this death "Natural Selection".

I never thought one could overdose from nitrous.
Maybe the guy was wearing some kind of mask.
Read about a couple of idiots who were found dead a few years back after opening a tank of nitrous inside a pickup with the windows closed.

He's sitting up there right now comparing notes with Colonel Hogan (Bob Crane).

OK that was uncalled for.

Snorting nitrous while watching porn is no way to go through life, son.

Why the "/sarc" tag? Their doing that wouldn't surprise me in the least.

Too much N2O and not enough O2 will do you in.

That’s why I never watch porn. I’m always paranoid something will happen that kills me and my name will be associated with “while watching porn”.
