The first documented case of autoerotic asphyxia was that of a priest in the
late 1800's. This priest endeavored to show a condemned women that death by
strangulation wasn't such a bad way to die, in order to ease her fears prior
to execution. He hung himself in her jail cell for a full two minutes before
allowing her to release him and reported feeling giddy and euphoric. She was
much comforted. A month later, the priest was found dead in his office,
hanging from the ceiling with his pants down at his knees.

The following cases are attempts by the FBI to study the incidence of
autoerotic fatalities.

Case #1
'A thirty year old married man had been left alone for three hours while
his wife, who was eight months' pregnant and their two children went to a
church related activity. Upon her return, she discovered him dead in an
upstairs bedroom that he was converting to a nursery. The victim was
suspended from a rope that encompassed his neck and was attached to a
pulley. A second rope passed over the pulley and ended in his left hand. The
pulley was hooked in a metal bar which extended between two beams in the
roof. His feet were touching the floor, his pants were around his ankles,his
underwear was semen stained in front and his shirt had been rolled up to
expose his chest. The cause of death, as determined by the medical
examiner, was asphyxiation due to hanging. The victim was described as
having been in excellent spirits, eagerly anticipating the birth of his
third child. He was also elated over the fact that he had successfully
followed a diet and excercise program, resulting in a 40 lb weight loss.'

Case #2
'A forty-nine year old man was discovered lying dead on a tile floor in his
home. He was wearing only a T-shirt. A bare wire ran from an electrical
transformer near his body into his urethra. Semen was on his left thigh and
had flowed to his buttock where it made contact with the tile floor causing
a ground effect. A large burn mark was present on his left buttock. Autopsy
disclosed cauterization of the foreskin on his penis and burns of the distal
inch of the urethra, the distance to which the wire had been inserted.'

Case #3
'A twenty four year old computer operator was found dead in his apartment.
He was naked except for a brassiere and a gold necklace. A rope tied around
his waist also extended about his groin, binding his genitalia down into
the gluteal fold. He was lying on his right side with both hands grasping
magazines depicting females in vaious stages of undress. Newspaper
advertising supplements showing similiar photographs were scattered about
his body. An electrode spliced into speaker wire was taped to each nipple.
These wires ran behind his back, where they were joined, traversed the anus
and scrotum and were connected to an amplifier.'

Case #4

'A 42 year-old Asian man was found hanging by the neck, suspended by a rope
attached to the raised shovel of a John Deere Model JD410, diesel powered,
backhoe tractor...The decedent was suspended in a semi-sitting position by a
cloth safety harness strap wrapped around his neck and clipped to a rope
that was hooked to the raised shovel of the backhoe tractor. A towel was
between the loose fitting strap and the victim's neck. A long piece of
plastic pipe was connected on one end by conduit tape to the hydraulic
control lever of the shovel in the operator's compartment of the tractor. A
broom stick was taped to the other end of the pipe and was partially under
the decedent's buttocks. The hydraulic shovel could be easily raised or
lowered by slight pressure applied to the broomstick. The decedent was fully
clothed, and his genitals were not exposed. No pornographic materials,
women's clothing items, or mirrors were at the scene...He had no known
psychiatric illness. Determination of autoerotic death was made from
decedent history and circumstantial indicators. The victim kept a journal of
love poetry dedicated to his tractor that he had named "Stone," outlining
his desire for them to "soar high" together. The victim was unmarried and
lived with his parents on their farm.'
