| | INXS Singer's Death Ruled Suicide - Feb 06, 1998 - E! Online News (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02) |
 | | Feb 6, 1998, 7:20 AM PT In the end, Michael Hutchence, the preening, flamboyant rock showman, was simply (if that's the word) depressed. |
 | | There was no evidence to prove reports that the naked Hutchence accidentally hanged himself while engaged in auto-eroticism--a masturbation game in which players seek to heighten pleasure by cutting off their air supply--New South Wales Coroner Derek Hand said. |
 | | Hutchence's suicidal state was spurred by tension over lover Paula Yates' nasty custody battle with her ex-husband, Live Aid's "Saint" Bob Geldof, and fueled by a chemical cocktail of vodka, beer, champagne, cocaine, Prozac and other prescription drugs (traces of which were all found in his system), Hand said. |
