And the Award for Most Original Suicide Goes To....

Brad Delp, the lead singer for the band Boston who killed himself last week, left behind a note in which he called himself "a lonely soul," according to police reports released Thursday. The note was paper-clipped to the neck of Delp's shirt when police found his body at his Atkinson home, on the bathroom floor, his head on a pillow. He had sealed himself inside with two charcoal grills; toxicology tests showed he had committed suicide by carbon monoxide poisoning.

In another note on a door at the top of the stairs, Delp cautioned that there was carbon monoxide inside.

Imagine the time it takes to lug 2 grills into a bathroom. He was certainly committed to his suicide. And how nice to warn others of the carbon monoxide. Great guy!
