Owner of Killer Bear Chokes to Death on Sex Toy

CLEVELAND, OHIO -- Police say man well known for his collection of exotic animals has died after choking on a sex toy.

Sam Mazzola, 49, was found dead in his Columbia Station home on Sunday.

Last year, Mazzola came under scrutiny when a black bear, named Cherokee, killed an employee of the sanctuary.

According to Lorain County Chief Deputy Coroner Dr. Frank Miller, Mazzola was found face down on his water bed, restrained with handcuffs, chains and padlocks.

An autopsy determined the preliminary cause of death was asphyxia due to airway obstruction by foreign body.

Mazzola had a sex toy in his throat, which apparently obstructed his breathing, Miller said.

He was also wearing a leather mask with the eyes and mouth zipped shut and a two-piece metal sphere covering his head, according to the coroner.

According to detectives, Mazzola had help with the bondage equipment, but his assistant had left before he died.

No one has been charged in the death, which authorities believe was accidental.

None.

No sex toy, or otherwise, will go into my mouth.

Have you heard the one about the Polish woman that had to take the batteries out of her vibrator? It was chipping her teeth.

Yah’know... it's not a bad rule in life to just not do things that might make for really embarrassing crime scene photos.

I am such a naive, provincial little creature. Somehow I just can’t see how sex is enhanced by putting a sex toy in your mouth, putting a leather hood on, and then zipping the mouth of the hood shut so you can’t get the dildo out of your mouth no matter what. How does this help??

There was one headline a few years back that was close
“OWNER OF KILLER, BARE, CHOKES TO DEATH ON SEX TOY”

Arkansas. The safe word is always Arkansas.

I'm not going to ask how you know that, but I am going to file that piece of information away.

I can't think of a case when it would be useful for me to know that, but a Scout Is Prepared.

For when you check back in.

This looks like a good reason to check back out again.

You're not naive and provincial, you're sensible.

Some un-sensible people get off on danger, the more "real" and imminent, the better. Discomfort is not avoided, but actively pursued.

Not satisfied with dangerous tricks like, say, unprotected sex with random HIV-positive partners, or hanging off the edge of a balcony 10 stories up from a busy city street, they do insane things that take them right to the very brink of death.

Sometimes, slightly over the brink.

Me, I get off on plain ol' normal hetero sex in a bed, with some nice music and romantic chatter thrown in. No gag balls, leather hoods, etc. Candles are optional.

This is the part that has me transfixed. What in the world is that all about?

I have some theories. But not actually knowing the facts I think it's best I just keep my guesses to myself.

Thanks for checking back in!

The headline is puzzling.

I’m trying to figure out what an owner of exotic animals has in common with an owner of sex toys, and what said sex toy was instrumental in his demise?
