Stage Stunt May Have Led To Singer's Death
24-Year-Old Died After Performance At Boston University


December 10, 2008


BOSTON -- A stage stunt may have led to the death of a 24-year-old lead singer of a local band, according to the Boston Globe.

Dominic Mallary, of Worcester, was performing at Boston University on Thursday night. Toward the end of the show, he performed his signature move and coiled the microphone wire around his neck as he sang, the newspaper reported.

The pressure caused a clot in his jugular vein that and stopped oxygen from flowing to his brain. Friends said that he appeared fine immediately after the performance, but later felt dizzy and had a lack of sensation in his legs. He died the following day at Boston Medical Center.

Mallary was an Emerson graduate student who counseled homeless people.

Didn't Roger Daltrey do this to close The Who shows?
Or maybe it was Paul Stanley at the end of KISS shows?

There has got to be more than this. Every day 100's, maybe 1,000's of women get choked by their boyfriends and husbands and they're not all keeling over. And how may guys go through the day with their ties too tight because they don't know how to knot them? Something is very amiss here.

In the real world, not in the make believe land where the pixies and faries resiide buddy. The fact of the matter, this type of shit happens everyday, this story sounds pretty much like a freak occurrence?, as everyone here has been choked at some point in our lives, even with our own hands, as kids, we do that stuff for fun, play wrestling or even school yard fights, who knows, it just happens a lot.

The guy must have hypertension or a stroke problem to begin with, the stunt just caused it to surface.
