FULL TITLE: Gay man who unsuccessfully sued San Diego cops for arresting him for wearing a butt-exposing gladiator costume 'commits suicide' after racking up $1m in legal bills
A man who lost a grueling, five-year lawsuit against San Diego police after being arrested for nudity during a gay pride festival has died in an apparent suicide, two weeks after the verdict.
Police found 35-year-old Will X Walters dead at his Hillcrest apartment Wednesday but it's unclear how long he'd been dead, the San Diego Union-Tribune reported. The medical examiner is examining the case.
Walters was arrested in 2011 during a gay pride event at Balboa Park for wearing a leather gladiator outfit that didn't fully cover his buttocks. He sued the police for anti-gay discrimination but a federal jury had recently ruled against him.
His attorney, Chris Morris, said he hadn't heard from his client since the December 13 verdict, which had left Walters in shock. He had left the courtroom immediately, after which his friends had also tried in vain to get in touch with him.

“So many great ones left us in 2016.”
LOL!!!!!!!
George Michael and David Bowie I had heard of. The vast majority of actors and pop singers I hear of for the first time in my life when they get shot, die of AIDS, or overdose.
Who’d he think he was, an extra in a Mad Max movie?
Come on, everyone knows that he was going to kill himself anyway. It’s what fags do.
There was an outcry from the Dallas sodomites when authorities laid down the law on nudity in their perversion pride parades and festivals. The sodomites claimed that debauched public nudity was “a part of our culture.”
They said it, not me.
All of the evidence indicates that this poor chap is burning in Hell because did not repent of his ungodly homosexual lifestyle. How many souls have been lost due to condoning this type of behavior?
I guess he was NOT at Black’s Beach (a famous naturist beach) when he was arrested.
