Botched sex-game may've killed BBC host AGENCIES, Mar 3, 2010, 12.28am IST
LONDON: Kristian Digby, a TV presenter working for the BBC, was found dead in his apartment after his bid to get a thrill from a suspected solo sex game apparently went wrong. Digby, 32, is believed to have suffocated while starving himself of oxygen for sexual arousal.
The death of the ‘To Buy Or Not To Buy' host, who was gay, has been described as "unexplained" by authorities. "At this time we believe he died from auto-erotic asphyxiation," The Sun quoted a source as saying. Auto-erotic asphyxiation (AEA) is a dangerous form of sex play in which the person engaged in the act intentionally cuts off oxygen to the brain for sexual arousal.
A Met police spokesman said, "The man was pronounced dead at the scene, family have been informed. Officers are investigating."
The BBC said in a statement: "Kristian was a much-loved and talented presenter. He brought a real sense of energy and warmth to all the shows. Our thoughts are with his family."
Also, Kristian's agent and friend Jo Wander told the British tabloid, "I am devastated by the loss. He was a lovely guy and a very talented presenter and director. I will miss him hugely."

Good riddance!
The choke’s on him.
Being a homosexual is no longer edgey enough, now they have to go “one better”.
David Carradine redux?
This kind of perversion is not confined to homos. There have been many heterosexual males who have died the same way.
That being said, its a pretty stupid way to go.
Trading eternity for an orgasm. What a bad deal.
I thought that arousal automatically cut off the brain.
What a way to go... or is it come?
Well DUH!!!!!! Another one bites the dust!
I know, but its a question of set theory. All perverts are not homosexuals, but all homosexuals are perverts by definition.
Shocking? No.
The very thing that homosexuals have chosen as the defining theme of their identities is a perversion. These other perversions are merely a slippery slope. After all, if you define yourself by a perverse identity, its a small step to manifesting your perversion in a variety of different ways.
So, was fantasizing about his lover, FIXATED on his ASS, and got ASPHYXIATED!
This stuff writes itself.
/mark
I guess you could say he was coming and going at the same time...
Yes. David Carradine died the same way.
Bizarre actions in both cases...it does however raise the question about why they choose to publish what is obviously very embarrasing personal information about someone who has died. He’s dead, let it go.
What a gasping situation!!
