He might, for a minute or two. I think he was in a bad shape as Bob Geldoff was after him and Paula. Big mess. Bob had a lot to do with it. He drove Paula to death as well.

What about that Kevin Gilbert fella´, that was dating Sheryl Crow. Didn't they find him with like an orange in his mouth, whips, leather, chains and stuff. Penis out. He also died of  autoerotic asphyxiation.

Come on now -- Paula was a junkie -- she drove herself off that bridge, and most people attribute Michael's issues with brain trauma and cite a dramatic personality change after a serious head injury as a reason for his downfall. By the time things were going downhill for both of them they were each so ell into their respective neurosis that blaming Bob Geldoff for their undoing is totally off the mark and unfair..

My 2 cents:

Saw him crush a gig at MSG in April of 91 opening for GNR on the most Ill-fated tour ever. And the worst opening slot.

loved his band and his solo collections. And fucking Audioslave. I wanted to be too cool for them. still not cool enough.

What a talent and what a voice. I happened to love his solo albums like Euphoria Morning.

Fucking 52 and still singing like THAT- like he's just breathing the same air like the rest of us?

No Plant, nor Daltrey could hold a candle to that, nor what he had ahead of him.

God rest him, and Cheers to that guy

Last night my daughter showed me a link to the Casino Royale soundtrack/intro and asked if this was the same guy she'd heard me blast in my garage. I told her, "yes, amazing talent, isn't he?". She had no real back-history musically but she was astounded at his depth and command of range.  I got a big hug from her this morning.

Missed and sad again..

Then they should also be investigating the possibility of autoerotic asphyxiation, in which case the death could be ruled accidental.

This would make it easier to accept, I think. Accidental versus intentional. Doesn't change the outcome, and it still sucks, but it removes the incomprehensible element.

His wife stated that he called and said he thought he'd taken extra ativan, which opens the door to that causing him to go into a suicidal state.  There's no evidence that it was sexual. 

The sad part is this could be as simple a guy with anxiety issues dosing himself too much while treating it, having a psychotic episode, and killing himself during it.  Obviously, this could be trying to rationalize a scenario where there is a scapegoat on his wife's part, but given the fact she was clearly worried prior to the discovery of his body, I think it ends up a contributing factor.  Benzos (xanax, ativan, etc.) are fucked up little drugs that I'm willing to bet a few of you have had experience with.  I never have touched them specifically due to watching too many friends get treated for anxiety with them and then end up worse off from the drugs than the underlying condition - not all, but enough that I decided early on that I would rather struggle through my own rather serious anxiety problems than end up on those things.  It would explain why, by all accounts, he was happy and showing no signs usually associated with someone considering suicide.  Obviously, that doesn't mean that he wasn't, but it does really seem completely out of the blue for most that knew him, at least so far. 

Dude may have just taken too many pills, and in a moment of panic, killed himself.  The worst part of this is that it may have been accidental.  I take pills everyday for diabetes and sometimes forget.  I know a slew of people that have overdone it an ambien on international flights.  Maybe he took a couple of extra because he was having a rough night.  Or maybe he said he may have taken a couple of extra because he really didn't know but was starting to feel off.  Damn shame either way.
