AEA: Autoerotic Asphyxia—David Carradine gained fame on TV in the early 70s as Kung Fu. Michael Hutchence was the frontman for hitmaking rock group INXS.

Both men died doing the same thing: autoerotic asphyxia. Joseph Scott Morgan and Dave Mack discuss AEA as well as other public deaths by asphyxia, including the hanging of Jeffrey Epstein, the suicide of Robin Williams, and a story about the death of a man accused of being a witch during the Salem Witch Trials and how he died of asphyxia by "pressing."
