If I win it, and anyone wants, I'd be willing to sell re-production copies of it for like 5$ plus 1$ shipping. (Which would totally be cheaper than what I will pay for it - providing I win!) I'll keep my fingers crossed till the auction ends.

Yeah and I agree..it would be kind of creepy to watch, but that is what makes me all the more interested.

i read i blender that he hung himself while masturbating--sounds kinda troubled

Pretty sure this was BS..

I believe I read he had lots of prozac in his system and other medication. Plus, he was depressed over the fact that he wasn't going to get to see his kid (plus Paula Yate *his lover's* kids, which he adored also.) He seemed kind of like a very emotional person, and having probably been drinking, plus the medication, plus the negative situation, it is easy to see why he "could have" taken his own life.

However, I have not ruled out the possibility of him being murdered. Simply because, I believe he own brother said in an interview something like, he didn't believe Michael took his own life. Add on to that, the fact that Michael had a lot going for himself. Inxs had a HUGE reunion tour planned, his debut solo album was almost finished, Tarrentino offered him an acting role in one of his upcoming films, and his love life was keeping him content. He was where he wanted to be. Why would he have taken his own life..? There is some food for thought.

Priapic INXS singer




Cause of Death: Autoerotic asphyxiation
Drop-Dead Jam: 'What You Need'
The complete coroner’s report...

Live Fast, Die Young, Leave a Pantsless Corpse? Hutchence died while still young and good-looking, but the circumstances of his end—found hanging naked on the back of a hotel-room door, having inadvertently strangled himself while masturbating—hardly burnished his Dionysian sex-god image. Later still, more sordid details of his demise were provided in a TV documentary by his girlfriend Paula Yates.
Life After Death: INXS's polished dance-pop aged poorly in the post-grunge years, and Hutchence’s death didn’t help. His self-titled solo debut was posthumously released in 1999, to little fanfare.
Mystify: His family will never see any of his money, as most of the $14 million fortune he left at his death was irretrievably lost in a collection of secret companies and trust funds set up to protect it.
Harsh reality: Hutchence’s bandmates carried on as INXS without him, enlisting a series of replacements culminating in last year’s reality show Rock Star: INXS, selecting J.D. Fortune, a 32-year-old Canadian former Elvis impersonator, as permanent vocalist.
Forecast for 2006:

following is a complete transcript of the Coroner's Report handed down into the death of Michael Hutchence by NSW Coroner, Derek Hand. We believe that Mr Hand's report should end any speculation about Michael's death and that it should be accepted as the final word in this tragic story. Let Michael Hutchence rest in peace. - Mike Gee.



INQUEST INTO THE DEATH OF MICHAEL KELLAND HUTCHENCE


I have received a completed police brief into the death of Michael Kelland Hutchence on 22nd November, 1997, at Ritz Carlton Hotel, Double Bay. I am satisfied that the cause of death was "hanging". I am also satisfied that there was no other person involved in causing the death.

The question of whether the death was a suicide or not has to be considered. The deceased was found at 11.50am naked behind the door to his room. He had apparently hanged himself with his own belt and the buckle broke away and his body was found kneeling on the floor and facing the door.

It has been suggested that the death resulted from an act of auto eroticism. However, there is no forensic or other evidence to substantiate this suggestion. I therefore, discount that manner of
death.

With regard to the question of suicide I have to be satisfied on a strong balance of probabilities before I am able to come to such a conclusion. There is a presumption against suicide. Having considered the extensive brief I am satisfied that the standard required to conclude that this death was a suicide has been reached for the following reasons:

(1) Michelle Bennett, a former de-facto of the deceased, received two telephone calls from him on the morning of the 22nd November. The first was on an answering machine and Mr Hutchence sounded "drunk". During the second call at 9.54am the deceased commenced to cry and according to Ms Bennett sounded "very upset". She was concerned about his demeanour and for his welfare and told him she would come immediately. However, when she arrived at the hotel she was not able to rouse him by knocking loudly on his door nor by ringing him. She wrote a note and left it at reception. Ms Bennett stated that Mr Hutchence never expressed previous inclinations regarding suicide.

(2) The deceased's father, Kelland Hutchence, dined with him the previous night. The deceased was in good spirits, however appeared very worried in regard to the outcome of a custody suit in London. Mr Hutchence could offer no explanation as to why his son would take his own life.

(3) Ms Kym Wilson and Mr Andrew Rayment were with the deceased in his hotel room from sometime after 11pm and left about 5am. According to Ms Wilson the deceased appeared to want both of them to remain with him to offer support if the result of hiscustody hearing was unfavourable. His mood was described as "elevated, however pensive when discussing court proceedings". All three persons consumed alcohol, including vodka, beer and champagne together with cocktails during this time.

(4) Whilst Ms Wilson and Mr Rayment were in the room (when) Ms Martha Troup, the deceased's personal manager, rang from New York. Then later at 9.38am she received, via voice-mail, a call from Michael Hutchence in which he said: "Marth, Michael here. I f...ing had enough." She rang the hotel immediately and the telephone rang out. A further call was received at 9.50am on Ms Troup's telephone answering machine. The deceased sounded as if he was affected by something and was slow and deep. This call worried Ms Troup and (she) spoke to John Martin the tour manager for INXS about her concerns. Mr Martin refers to a note received from the deceased stating that he was "not going to rehearsals today". The rehearsal was to be the last one prior to the start of the tour and was quite important.

(5) Ms Paula Yates provided a statement. She provided background to the custody dispute between her and Sir Robert Geldof. She stated that she rang the deceased at some time prior to 5.38am on the 22nd November and he told her he was going to beg Geldof to let the children come out to Australia. She had told the deceased that the custody matter had not been finalised and was adjourned until the 17th December and she would not be bringing the children out. Ms Yates stated that the deceased sounded "desperate" during the conversation.

(6) Sir Robert Geldof received two telephone calls from the deceased, the first at about 6.30pm London time on (the) evening of 21st November. It was of a short duration and Geldof asked the deceased to call back. The second call was received by Geldof about 5.30am on 22nd November, Sydney time. This call was of some length. Geldof refers to the deceased's demeanour as being "hectoring and abusive and threatening" in nature. He refers to the deceased as "begging" to allow him to let the children come to Australia. He did not sound depressed during the conversation. A friend of both Geldof and Paula Yates, Ms Belinda Brewin, confirms the substance of the conversation between the two. A statement obtained from a Gail Coward, the occupant of the room directly next to the deceased's room, alludes to her hearing a loud male voice and expletives emitting from the deceased's room about 5am that morning. I am satisfied that she was hearing the telephone conversation between the deceased and Geldof.

(7) A statement obtained from the mother of the deceased, Mrs Patricia Glassop, confirms her opinion that the deceased was in a depressed state.

(8) In December 1995, Michael Hutchence was first prescribed Prozac by Dr J. Borham, a London medical practitioner, to treat a pre-existing depressive problem. He was last so prescribed on 1st November, 1997. A London psychiatrist, Mr Mark Collins, was consulted by the deceased on 17th October, 1997 in regard to a minor depression being experienced by him. According to the doctor there was no hint of suicidal thinking by the deceased.

(9) An analysis report of the deceased's blood indicates the presence of alcohol, cocaine, Prozac and other prescription drugs. On consideration of the entirety of the evidence gathered I am satisfied that the deceased was in a severe depressed state on the morning of the 22nd November, 1997, due to a number of factors, including the relationship with Paula Yates and the pressure of the on-going dispute with Sir Robert Geldof, combined with the effects of the substances that he had ingested at that time. As indicated I am satisfied that the deceased intended and did take his own life.
I am also satisfied that this death is one in which nothing will be gained by holding a formal Inquest. The identity of the deceased, the date and place of death and the manner and cause of death are clearly set out and the time and expense of holding an Inquest is not warranted and therefore such will be dispensed with. May I offer to the family of Michael Hutchence my sincere condolences on their sad loss.

INQUEST DISPENSED WITH.
