Hmmmmm....found hanging by a rope in a hotel room's closet, but spokespersons and family members claim it was not suicide. That leaves murder and autoerotic asphyxiation.

At any rate, another icon of my youthful era gone.

Grasshopper, you ARE a man!! Rest in peace, David!

Sad

And rather mysterious. Sex, sure - but in the closet?

That sounds more tabloid than anything else.

He was one of many great martial-arts actors. Funny how often their great skills are coupled with good acting ability.

Well, with one red-headed exception.

Never heard about autoerotic asphyriation

until I took psy classes in college. I have heard of many these solo events that took a tragic ending, including recently in my state where a 12 year old boy was found nude. From my understanding if you are into this, you should have someone with you while doing this (? surrogate choker)
