The last of the great Asian impersonators.

3

Suicide, apparently.

Grasshopper, rest in peace. Yes master…

5

Asian-American or American-Asian, but not Asian.

6

Maybe. Naked in a hotel room closet is more likely autoerotic asphyxiation, like that guy from INXS.

7

… thus the “impersonator”. He was impersonating an Asian.

I wonder how many AutoAsphyx cases get called suicide,
to cover up, as if the latter were preferable…

Well now I wish I hadn’t read that.

The Kung Fu show was ok.

He was my favorite Younger brother in The Long Riders.

Cole Younger and Belle Starr- what a pair.

[Cole Younger and Sam Starr are about to fight over Belle]
Cole Younger: What does the winner get?
Belle Starr: Nothin’ both of you ain’t already had.
Cole Younger: Don’t hardly seem worth it.
Belle Starr: It ain’t. You’re both crazy, but you do keep me amused. I am having a real good time.

I missed the “naked” bit. All CNN said was that he was found hanging in a closet.

That was my thought, having worked a couple of those. They are pretty obvious when you turn the black light on, even when helpful friends dress the person in whose honor the entertainment is being given before they call the police.

Doggy choke chains are often the accoutrement of choice for the fashionably dressed autoerotic.

RIP and enough with the grasshopper jokes. Sigh. I guess those will never end, tho. I have a hard time believing the more salacious method of demise. A man that age? Cmooooon.

I agree.

Given the circumstances, I do hope they look rather closely for any possibility of foul play.

Not meaning to stir any pots, just curious…

I have further news to impart, but I am still
baffled about what I’m being asked not to
post, so I guess I’ll just let people google
for themselves.
