Yes, he was extremely nuts. People forget that in the 60s he and Barbara Hershey lived in a cave in Griffith Park for a few years. That's when they were doing so many drugs no one thought they'd live thru it. They wore flea collars, never bathed and Hershey changed her name to Barbara Hershey "Seagull" because she felt the soul of a dead seagull enter her body one day at the beach.

At Writers Guild and Screen Actors Guild meetings he would have his girlfriend raise her hand, get called on, then he'd jump up and give a 45 minute drunken speech till he was dragged off.

He was reduced to doing these cheapo, direct-to-video pics shot in Thailand and Bulgaria.

How do you die of natural causes with a noose around your neck?

I think he was in the movie, Chiefs. It was either him or his brother Keith.

Damn good movie in any case.

He was found hung in a closet. Sounds a little suspicious to me. Why would anyone suicide themselves in a closet?

Maybe his friend didn’t know or didn’t want to say that it was a suicide.

Exactly, especially agents and PR people.

I so want to post that scene from Blazing Saddles that goes:

[Bart returns unexpectedly after being sentenced to death]
Charlie: They said you was hung?
Bart: And they was right.

But good taste wins out... again, dang it!

None of this sounds quite right to me.

His agent, friends and family all say that he was great spirits, booze and drug free for years, happy to be working, happily married, just bought a car and about to begin filming a movie. And they found him dead at a Thai luxury hotel, hung with a drapery cord, naked, in a closet and are calling it "suicide"?

What are we missing here?

Doesn't sound like a candidate for suicide to me, more like a man who had a new lease on life and everything to live for.

Didn't he have three fairly young children with his new wife? His oldest son Tom with first love Barbara Hershey is 36.

A motive and a perpetrator, for starters.

IF it turns out he was murdered, I hope they catch the guy and do likewise to him!

Did a little research. He has three children, one son, two daughters with previous wives. None with Annie Bierman, his widow.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:----- Erotic asphyxiation refers to intentionally cutting off oxygen to the brain for sexual arousal....

Bird in hand just not good enough these days?

OK. Thanks. Brain never went there. Sometimes I am ridiculously naive with no good reason at all for remaining so.

If that's true, what a humiliating way to go!

Yeah, this is such a shame. I really like “Wild West Tech”. It is a very interesting show. He was very good in it. He also played in some pretty good made for TV westerns along with his brother Keith. He’ll be missed.

Google autoerotocism and you may get your answer.
