some call it non-accidental asphyxiation but there isn't a shorter name.
famous or semi-famous who have died from it are 1)Tory MP Stephen Milligan who
died wearing women's underwear,had an orange in his mouth,and a plastic bag
over his head and apparently 2)Michael Hutchence from the group INXS. all
reports lead to this being the cause of his death. no one in his family will
dispute this but the coroner's report says it was suicide. so who would you
believe? people who knew him or someone who didn't that makes a living at
finding out how someone died?

Bob Crane? Wasn't he killed during a burglary/robbery at his home? Hmmm.
Maybe when the perp broke in, he knocked Bob's chair out from under him
while he was doing the ol' noose 'n' jerk.

No, he was found dead in a motel room. A lover was either suspected of or
charged with murder. (Not sure which).

I thought Bob Crane was killed when somebody cracked him over the head with a
camera tripod. Somebody got away with murder, that's for sure.
Since his murder I've heard numerous rumors about him being gay and/or
bisexual and I once heard a story that he was into child pornography, and that
his killing was a revenge killing? Is any of this true?

In the mid-70s (either 74 or '75) I attended a comicbook convention in San
Diego. Bode used do a slide show and puppet show with his character The
Hat Wizard. One of his assistants was doing a tribute show in his honor,
so it had to have been a year or two before that he passed away.

You might want to go to the True Crime newsgroup with this. I know there
have been a couple of books dealing with his murder. SOme feel the cops
knew who did the deed, but either botched the investigation or were told
to hold off. No one was charged, despite a number of suspects.

Crane was into filming his sex games and blackmail may have been part of
it.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Actually, as I recall, Crane died from so many blows to the head that the
police couldn't recognize him. He also had a video camera cord (the old
kind in use at that time) around his neck to choke him. But evidently the
blows to the head were quite enough.
He was performing in a dinner theater for a brief run when the murder took
place, which was why this wasn't in Los Angeles.

Yeah, but that was *after* I predicted that Kramer would die that
way in the final episode of "Seinfeld". Alas, when the network suits
found out I'd leaked the crucial plot-twist they chose to leave all
the plot-twists out instead.

-> sits on him until he pledges to never, ever try autoerotic asphyxia.
->
-> Later in the episode, George pulls open Kramer's door and finds him dead
-> with a plastic bag over his head. There are still three pears in the bag.

[that went on for a few pages, in which all of the characters fell
victim to Must Snuff TV. Unfortunately, after I merged two early drafts,
I wound up killing Kramer twice without realizing it. I don't think
anyone noticed.]

-> [...]
-> Two days later, at the party, Peterman is very weak from a tropical illness.
-> They blindfold him and put the long stick in his hands, and with much
-> coaching eventually he manages to gently tap the stick against the pinata.
-> The pinata shakes and rumbles, and then explodes, showering millions of

-> but the knob comes off in his hand. Cockroaches are crawling all over

-> Peterman screams to Kramer, "There's one on you, don't move, man!" and
-> whacks Kramer in the forehead with the pinata stick. Kramer's head splits
-> open and candy comes out. Peterman: "Candy! Pretty candy!"

So you see, not only did I destroy "Seinfeld", I created "The X-Files".

This is why both shows got made into hit movies.

It was in April-May, 1975, but wasn't announced by National Lampoon, which
had been publishing the "Cheech Wizard" strip amongst others, until
September, 1975. That bit of business in particular - attributed to lead
times in a fairly short statement - turned me off of buying the magazine
ever again.

That's 'cause they airlines have recently discovered, through a series
of enormous and highly-Neilsen-rated lawsuits, that there are people
out there who are so allergic to peanuts that even being in the same
plane with a TINY plastic-foil packet of five peanuts will make their
throats close up so they die, and people everywhere are protesting
that there should be no peanuts on airlines, but dammit, this would
violate the rights of people who are allergic to peanuts AND enjoy
autoerotic asphyxia! I say that people on airplanes should be FORCED
to eat peanuts! And the overhead TV sets should show close-ups of
the pilot's foot pushing the airplane's gas pedal barefoot.

Also I'm allergic to clothes so
everyone has to fly naked from now on.

For instance, the actor Albert Dekker ("Beau Geste", "Dr. Cyclops", "Honky
Tonk") died of it and was found with obscenities scribbled all over his
body... And what's more, the spell is asphygsia.

What do you mean "she never even admitted she had an older brother"? -
In her autobiography "Me" (p.32) she talks about the incident:

The facts were as follows. Next morning I went upstairs to wake him up. There
he was - next to the bed - his knees bent - hanged by a torn piece of
sheeting. It was tied to a rafter. He was dead. Strangled. It made no sense.
In a state of numb shock I cut him down and laid him on the bed. Tom was
dead. He was just plain dead. Yes. I touched him. Cold. He was dead.

Yeah, maybe I am late, but I just wanted to tell you what I read. "Me" was
indeed written pretty late in her life, it came out in 1991. No wonder she
didn't elaborate on the state she found her brother in - from what I've
heard, almost every victim looks rather bizarre and, judging from the facts,
he really appears to have died from auto-erotic asphyxiation. chronos
