Autoerotic Death by Zucchini and Hair Dryer
From the peer-reviewed medical journal Pathology:
Autoerotic deaths: four cases.
Cooke CT, Cadden GA, Margolius KA.
State Health Laboratory Services, Queen Elizabeth II Medical Centre, Nedlands, Western Australia.
We describe the circumstances and post mortem medical findings of 4 unusual fatalities where death occurred during autoerotic practice. Three cases occurred in young to middle-aged men–hanging, electrocution and inhalation of a zucchini. The manner of death in each was accidental. The fourth case was an elderly man who died of ischemic heart disease, apparently whilst masturbating with a vacuum cleaner and a hair dryer.
I don’t know about you, but I kind of wonder about the doctors who wrote this article more than the subjects of the article. I strongly suspect that they have a very twisted sense of humor.
