Searching a bin for cocaine with fingers covered in cigarette burns down to the bone, tawdry last hours of rock star Michael Hutchence: 17 years on, new revelations from police who probed death


The final desperate hours of rock star Michael Hutchence were revealed yesterday by the two detectives who investigated his death.

Before he hanged himself in his hotel room in Sydney in November 1997, Hutchence had been rummaging through a bin, desperate to find drugs, they said.

In the same bin, they found the lyrics of the last song he wrote ? which have never been published.

They also told of the despair of his girlfriend, Paula Yates, and her very public insistence that Hutchence had died accidentally during a sex game.

Former detective inspectors Mark Smith and Michael Gerondis spoke out publicly for the first time amid controversy in Australia over a two-part TV film about Hutchence?s band, INXS, shown over the weekend and criticised as inaccurate by his family.

The 37-year-old singer killed himself at the height of a bitter custody row over Miss Yates?s children with her husband Bob Geldof.

The two Australian detectives told how they found evidence of a troubled man on the path to self-destruction. Hutchence?s fingers were dark with nicotine stains and he had an old cigarette burn so deep that it exposed the bone, they said.

?The cigarette went right through his fingers and it was sort of infected,? Mr Gerondis told Sydney?s Sunday Telegraph newspaper.

The officers said there were signs that Hutchence had been trying to find drugs before he died. The singer had even rifled through a bin. ?He was trying to get some cocaine but he did not get it so he was going through the bin,? said Mr Gerondis.

It was at 11.50am the next day that a hotel maid found the singer who had hanged himself.

?The maid could not get in because he was behind the door,? said Mr Gerondis.

thanks news man!

Fun times.
Drugs are bad mmmkay?

None of that is new.

All of it was well known. He was on a big coke binge for a few days. And he hung himself while jerking off (as many people do). He died because he got asphyxiated to the point of passing out and then strangled from hanging.

What an asshole he was.

Ouch that's one of the best live version I've seen........ that pause in Tear Us Apart is awesome. It should win the "Best Pause in a Rock Song" category.

Sad news



Fantastic performer :2 cents:

He was so incredibly hot. I remember being mesmerized watching him on MTV back in the day.
