A married former Washington Post vice president has been found dead in a gay bar in Manhattan with drug paraphernalia near his body.

Guyon Knight was found dead around 8am on Saturday in a bar called the Out in the Hell's Kitchen neighborhood of New York.

The New York Post reported the circumstances of the 64-year-old's death, saying that he was seen with a needle, a pipe and unspecified pills near his body.

The club where Knight was found describes itself as being gay-but-straight friendly, but a person familiar with the bar told MailOnline that it is mostly frequented by gay patrons.

'It would be pretty darn strange to see and old straight guy partying in there,' the source said.

The 42nd Street location, where Mr Knight was found at around 8am on Saturday, has a bar, a spa and hotel rooms.

Crap like this explains a LOT in re. the Compost’s editorial slant. Gotta wonder how many OTHER druggies and fags inhabit the Compost’s ranks.

[driftdiver]

Yes its unusual. They typically just go out back to the alley.

wages paid in full.

With a name like Guyon, of course he was gay!

It’s a little too convenient, almost cliche. Dead with a bunch of paraphenalia around him in a bar? I call BS.

Is it common for a bar to have hotel rooms?
Normal people call them hotels with bars.

Does Knight get a stamp made in his honor like Harvey Milk did? Wheres Boxer and Feinswine?

Hmm, this sounds like a scene out of John Ross’s “Unintended Consequences”... are we sure Henry Bowman and the “Wrecking Crew” hasn’t started the 4th Generation warfare on media types?

Right.

[P.O.E.]

Drugs and perverted sex on 42nd Street? Say it ain’t so!

[livius]

Sad. I don’t know anything about this man, but from the story, it seems to me that drugs - easily available in gay environments - were his big problem.

Sounds like the former SEALS found dead on the Marsk.

Sounds like a set-up.

Would that include dragging his dead body into the homosexual bar then propping him up wherever he was found?

We have to demystify the orgasm. Really folks, it can be compared to a sneeze: the build-up, the build-up, the build-up, and then... ACHOO! Big frickin’ deal. People throw their lives and marriages away for the equivalent of a sneeze. And the drugs? Yippee! Wow, I feel really spacey. This is great!

Sex and drugs as the focal point of life is just a bunch of shite!

[Hot Tabasco]

this gay bar had hotel rooms? Is it common for a bar to have hotel rooms?

Only the upscale ones do, the rest just offer the bathrooms for free.........

These days he could be married to multiple other guys.

Considerate addicts get rid of their needles and crackpipes as the overdose kills them. Just shows  what jerks journalists are.

Sounds like a set-up. sounds like a scene right out of The Godfather II...
