[edit] Jim Morrison?
Why is there nothing about Michael Hutchence being the poor man's jim morrison?
[edit] Depression, Anti Depressants, and Suicide
There is always risk of suicide by virtue of the fact that we don't have a cure for depression, we only have treatments, and none of them are perfect, with some being likely to make it worse. One should trust one's self to judge the quality of one's own treatment (do not take something on another's word, you ulimately have to guide yourself and trust your deepest instincts on what is right for you). I will quote Sheryl Crow: "if it makes you happy it cant' be that bad, it it makes you happy why the hell are you so sad?". My advice is to literally and vigorously apply that statement to one's own treatments.
One should never give up hope or fail to seek help on the basis that some treatments fail or have imperfections. The combination of Hope and Help = Happiness. Good Luck to all who struggle!--Tednor 10:41, 3 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Suicide a cover-up: Autoeroticism?
I thought that the sucide rubbish was just a cover up... [Anon]uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
I was surprised to read hear that the autoerotic explanation came up only a couple of years after his death. I would have sworn that I heard that explanation in the week of his death. Moleskiner 03:22, 2 December 2005 (UTC)
The conclusion of the official Coroner's Report was suicide. However, consideration of the report by independent external experts, experts in the field of forensic science and crime scene analysis have since suggested that the Coroner could have - and perhaps should - have concluded that the cause of death was accidental. [Anon]
What consideration/experts/crime scene alanysis? The Coroner's report specifically mentions the possibility of autoeroticism, and rejects that cause of death as being supported by "no forensic or other evidence". I don't see why this supposition should be treated almost as is if it is as plausible as the official verdict without giving evidence. --Timtak 02:30, 18 August 2006 (UTC)
In 1999, the Coroner's Report was independently considered by Professor Stephen Hucker of McMaster University, Ontario and leading U.K. pathologist Professor Iain West. This was linked to an investigative documentary broadcast on Channel 4 TV, London. Nudity, photography, body plasma, a ring blot screw at the scene of death, coupled with an historic interest in autoerotica reported by Rhet Hutchence and Paula Yates, and the lack of a suicide note suggest that the Coroner should have returned either an open verdict or one of accidental death.

I'm not sure what makes me most uncomfortable about this suicide vs. erotic accident thing, but I think our values may be a little screwed up on the matter. I think a tragic death is a tragic death, full stop.--Tednor 10:50, 3 December 2006 (UTC)
I love Wikipedia, but one thing I cannot stand is how certain factions tend to rewrite history. Especially in the case of the suicide of a musician. Please give more attention to the most widely accepted and evidenced description of the event. This page describes the conspiracy theory better than the real thing.Blaiseball 19:56, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Suicide a cover-up: Murder?
While I know of no references that explicitly support this theory, Michael Hutchence's financial arrangements provide a strong motive for murder. The people involved in setting up these arrangements do not appear to be as pure as the driven snow, either. cojoco (talk) 00:28, 8 May 2008 (UTC)
Absolutely nothing has ever emerged to support this claim. Mrdavidbarrie (talk) 20:47, 11 May 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Kudos
Yes, this is a great article, Zoe. Written clearly, with much relevant information. We need more articles like this. So, welcome! --LMS
Yay - Michael finally gets removed from the stubs page! Nice work Zoe. - MMGB
[edit] Michael's Spirit?
Is this really relevant? I thought the brilliant urge to updating this article was to bring it up to standard, part of which has to be to excise myth and hocus-pocus? - David Barrie
[edit] Max Q
Should mention membership/participation in Max Q. --Daniel C. Boyer 01:14, 11 Sep 2003 (UTC)
[edit] Fan-crap article
It's time Wikipedia spun off a seperate endeavor for all the pop star fan-crap slop.
- Sorry, popular culture is suitable encyclopedia content. Sorry if it's not to your liking, but I think it's here to stay. — Frecklefoot | Talk 20:14, August 4, 2005 (UTC)
If you don't like then don't read it. Wikipedia offer information for everyone.
