Isadora Duncan was killed when the long scarf she was wearing whilst in an open-top car got caught in one of the wheels.

On the morning of November 22, 1997, Michael Hutchence, aged 37, was found dead in his room at the Ritz-Carlton hotel in Double Bay, Sydney (now the Stamford Plaza). A belt found at the scene suggested that he had died by hanging.

The Coroner of New South Wales determined that Hutchence's death was the result of suicide but analysis of the witness statements in the Coroner's report, the lack of a suicide note and other anecdotal evidence, such as the fact that Hutchence was found nude has led some - including Hutchence's brother and other close relatives - to suggest that the death may have resulted from autoerotic asphyxiation.

Maybe the ball-gag and gimp mask were a bit of a giveaway.....
