    Former Big Country frontman found hanged

    HONOLULU, Hawaii (Reuters) - Stuart Adamson, former lead singer of Scottish rock band Big Country, has been found hanged in a Hawaii hotel room, U.S. authorities have said.

    The 43-year-old guitarist, who had global hits in the 1980s, was found dead on Sunday in his room at the Best Western Plaza Hotel near Honolulu International Airport, police said.

    The Honolulu Medical Examiner said on Monday that Adamson died of asphyxiation from hanging. Toxicology tests were being carried out to determine if he had taken drugs.

    Honolulu police said a maid discovered Adamson's body about 1 p.m. local time with a rope around his neck and tied to a pole in the closet.

    Eerily reminiscent of how the lead singer from INXS died.

    I was thinking the same thing. Did they ever decide whether he died of autoerotic asphyxiation gone wrong or suicide?
